General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle unit is recalling all 950 of its driverless cars to update software after an incident at the beginning of October in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO — The recall is due to a collision detection subsystem of the Cruise Automated Driving Systems software. That software may not respond correctly when a crash happens, according to a notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , obtained byreported. The pedestrian was thrown into a lane of traffic and was hit again by a Cruise robotaxi. That vehicle did not stop in time and ended up dragging the pedestrian.
The Cruise system “inaccurately characterized the collision as a lateral collision and commanded the AV to attempt to pull over out of traffic, pulling the individual forward rather than remaining stationary,” the company said, according toGeneral Motors in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators Wednesday said that once the software is updated, if a similar incident were to happen, the Cruise vehicle will remain stationary, according tosaid.
