General Motors Co.’s Cruise self-driving car unit has recalled an older version of software used by its robotaxis at the time of a crash in San Francisco in June, according to federal transportation regulators.
Cruise has updated the automated driving system, or ADS, software and all affected vehicles were repaired in July, the National High Traffic Safety Administration said in a report posted early Thursday on its website. The issue centered on situations in which the driverless cars turned left at traffic signals without a green arrow light.
“The software may, in certain circumstances when making an unprotected left, cause the ADS to incorrectly predict another vehicle’s path or be insufficiently reactive to the sudden path change of a road user,” the report said.
