Cruise recalls robotaxi software after car crashes into San Francisco bus

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:27:09 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Cruise, the self-driving robotaxi service in San Francisco, has recalled the software on their autonomous cars after a collision that happened in March.While tech experts tell Nexstar's KRON the recall is good, what prompted was alarming.Last month, a Cruise self-driving robotaxi crashed into a San Francisco city bus. "Fender benders like this rarely happen to our [autonomous vehicles], but this incident was unique," founder and CEO Kyle Vogt said Friday. "We do not expect our vehicles to run into the back of a city bus under any conditions, so even a single incident like this was worthy of immediate and careful study."He went on to note the "bus's behavior was reasonable and predictable," and that the Cruise vehicle "did break in response" but "too late and rear-ended the bus at about 10 mph.""The Muni bus has an unusual shape because it is two sections, so the movement was not something it had in its scenarios," San Jose State University professor and tech ...

Wild earn comeback win over Blackhawks despite sloppy start

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:27:09 GMT

CHICAGO — The lineup resembled that of exhibition game, and so, too, did the effort from the Wild for prolonged stretches.After leaving Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin at home to avoid potential injury, the Wild lacked urgency against the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night at the United Center.In the end, though, the Wild did just enough to earn a 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. That keeps their slim hopes of winning the Central Division alive at least for a few more days.On a night that former Gophers captain Brock Faber made his NHL debut, and top prospect Marco Rossi made his highly anticipated NHL return, the Wild at times looked like they had very little interest playing in an NHL game.Ultimately that didn’t hurt against a group like the Blackhawks that has been aggressively tanking since the trade deadline.It looked like it might be an easy night for the Wild in the early stages as Matt Boldy scored midway throughout the first period ...
