Cruise updates software for autonomous vehicles after crash

An autonomous robotaxi run by Cruise LLC got into a crash while making a left turn, causing the company to recall 80 vehicles with a software update. The San Francisco-based unit of General Motors says the crash happened about 11 p.m. on June 3. The company says it filed recall paperwork at the request of federal safety regulators and to be transparent with the public. In documents posted Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Cruise said one of its vehicles was making an unprotected left turn at an intersection when it was hit by an oncoming vehicle. The oncoming vehicle was in a right turn and bus lane when it switched lanes and went straight, hitting the right rear of the Cruise car.
