Cruise submitted the voluntary recall earlier this month, after California suspended the company’s permit to operate driverless vehicles in the state over its handling of the incident. The recall involves as many as 950 vehicles, according the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. — AP
Cruise LLC, the robotaxi company owned by General Motors Co, recalled its automated-driving system and deployed a software update to part of its fleet after one of its vehicles dragged a pedestrian struck by another car in San Francisco last month.
The company also said in a blog post Wednesday that it will hire a chief safety officer and has taken steps to determine how the incident happened and how it was handled.
