Cruise says that it worked closely with police and fire units to get notifications for emergencies in San Francisco, setting up email alerts directly from the city’s Emergency Services for scenes that need to be avoided.
Cruise, General Motors’ driverless taxi venture, has updated the software of its fleet of robotaxis to make them better equipped to handle encounters with emergency vehicles after one of the company’s Chevrolet Bolt EVs collided with a fire truck in San Francisco in August. When the collision happened, the passenger who was inside the driverless taxi sustained “non-severe injuries” and was taken to hospital.
Furthermore, the remote teams that monitor each driverless Bolt EV will allow first responders access to the AVs so that they can be manually moved out of the way. The changes come after Cruise was instructed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to cut its fleet in half in the city of San Francisco after the August fire truck collision.
