An autonomous vehicle run by San Francisco-based Cruise LLC got into a wreck while making a left turn, causing the company to update software and recall 80 vehicles.
The unit of General Motors says the crash happened June 3. The company says it filed recall paperwork at the request of federal safety regulators and to be transparent with the public.
Cruise began charging passengers for robotaxi rides in the Bay Area in June after getting approval from California regulators. Cruise, a majority-owned subsidiary of GM, said the autonomous vehicle's software determined that it needed to brake hard to avoid colliding with the oncoming vehicle, which it predicted would make a right turn into the robotaxi's path. The oncoming vehicle was traveling about 40 miles per hour in a lane with a 25 mph speed limit, the documents said.
