DETROIT (AP) — General Motors' Cruise autonomous vehicle unit is recalling all 950 of its cars to update software after it dragged a pedestrian to the side of a San Francisco street in early October.
The company said in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators on Wednesday that with the updated software, Cruise vehicles will remain stationary in similar cases in the future.
The Oct. 2 crash forced Cruise to suspend driverless operations nationwide after California regulators found that its cars posed a danger to public safety.
In the crash, a human-driven vehicle hit a pedestrian, sending the person into the path of a Cruise autonomous vehicle.
Cruise says in documents that it already has updated software in test vehicles that are being supervised by human safety drivers.
