Cruise recalls 950 driverless cars after one of its vehicles ran over a hit-and-run victim. The recall will entail a software update to its collision detection subsystem.
Cruise, the self-driving car subsidiary of General Motors, says it is recalling 950 of its driverless vehicles in response to an October incident in which one of its robotaxis ran over a pedestrian. The recall, which was initiated by the company, will take the form of an over-the-air software update to the collision detection subsystem so the vehicle remains stationary during certain crash incidents, rather than pulling over to the side of the road.
” “With the new update, the Cruise AV would have remained stationary during the October 2 incident,” the company adds. Cruise said its evaluation of the crash response, which took three weeks, determined that “a collision with a risk of serious injury could recur with the Collision Detection Subsystem every 10 million - 100 million miles of driving on average.” In response to the crash, the California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise’s license to operate its vehicles in the state.
