Cruise Recalls Robotaxies After Passenger Injured In Crash

sdinfoserv writes: Yet another setback for automated driverless vehicle grail, Cruise recalls its robotaxis after a passenger was injured in a crash. The robotaxi was turning left at an intersection, assumed an oncoming vehicle would turn in front of it and stopped, resulting in the oncoming vehicle striking the robotaxi. A Cruise spokeswoman declined to say what the robotaxi could have done differently, and declined to release video of the crash.

The company also said it's issued a software update to improve the ability to predict what other vehicles will do, including in conditions similar to the crash.
