Cruise recalls all self-driving cars after grisly accident and California ban

All 950 of the General Motors subsidiary's autonomous cars will be taken off roads for a software update

General Motors' Cruise autonomous vehicle unit is recalling all 950 of its cars to update software after one of them dragged a pedestrian to the side of a San Francisco street in early October and a subsequent ban by California regulators.

The company said in documents posted by US safety regulators on Wednesday that with the updated software, Cruise vehicles will remain stationary should a similar incident occur in the future.
