Summary
Cruise, the autonomous vehicle venture owned by General Motors, has issued a recall for 950 of its robotaxis following a pedestrian collision in San Francisco. The company has lost $1.9 billion on Cruise between January and September this year, including $732 million in the third quarter alone. The collision led to the company losing its permits to operate driverless vehicles in California without a human safety driver on board. Cruise has identified defects in its automated driving system software and is conducting a search to hire a chief safety officer. The company has also temporarily suspended production of its Cruise Origin driverless vans.
