CRASH COURSE: Software in 80 Cruise autonomous vehicles recalled, updated after collision
A GM Bolt EV is seen during a media event where Cruise, GM's autonomous car unit, showed off its self-driving cars in San Francisco, Nov. 28, 2017.
While the Cruise AV made an unprotected left turn, the "reflexive planner" safety feature in the old version of the autonomous driving system made the vehicle do a hard brake to avoid a predicted front-end collision with an oncoming vehicle "traveling well above the speed limit in a restricted right-turn/bus-only lane," the filings said.
The oncoming car collided with the "rear right quarter panel" of the Cruise AV after the oncoming car "suddenly" exited theand went through the intersection, according to the filings. During the incident, the autonomous driving system had to "decide between two risk scenarios and chose the one with the least potential for a serious collision at the time," Cruise determined, the filings said.
