Tesla is recalling over two million vehicles in the U.S. due to concerns that its Autopilot system can be misused by drivers, amidst an ongoing investigation by the top U.S. auto-safety regulator into crashes involving the driver-assistance technology. The recall is not expected to be costly for Tesla and will not significantly restrict drivers' access to the company's advanced driver-assistance features.
Cruise, a self-driving car company owned by General Motors, has announced a pause in the operations of its driverless fleet across the US as it reviews its safety procedures. This decision comes after the California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise's testing and deployment permits for autonomous robotaxis following an investigation into an incident where a pedestrian was hit by a human driver and launched into the path of a Cruise robotaxi. Cruise aims to rebuild public trust by examining its processes, systems, and tools during this pause. Supervised autonomous vehicle operations will continue.
