Cruise Recalls Self-Driving Software After San Francisco Crash Injures Two

In June 2022, a Cruise autonomous vehicle operating in San Francisco attempted an unprotected left turn and braked hard after incorrectly predicting an oncoming car would turn right. The other car continued straight and struck the Cruise vehicle, injuring a Cruise employee and a person in the other car. Cruise subsequently recalled the software on 80 vehicles, temporarily restricted left turns, and issued a software update to improve predictions. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration oversaw the recall.

Hellobike self-driving car injures two pedestrians in Zhuzhou

In June 2025, a Hellobike autonomous taxi in Zhuzhou, Hunan, veered off course and struck two pedestrians crossing the road, causing serious injuries. The company suspended its autonomous driving operations in Zhuzhou and Liyang following the crash. Reports suggest the vehicle may have lacked sufficient underside sensors, leading to detection failures. The incident is believed to be the first publicly known injury-causing crash involving a robotaxi in China.

Hackers trick Tesla Autopilot into veering into oncoming lane

Researchers at Tencent's Keen Security Lab demonstrated that stickers placed on a road could trick a Tesla Model S's Autopilot system into veering into the oncoming traffic lane. The attack exploited the system's reliance on camera-based computer vision to recognise lanes. Tesla responded that this vulnerability was unrealistic because a driver can easily override Autopilot, while saying a separate steering-wheel hijack had been fixed in a software update.

Researchers demonstrate drone attack on Renault Captur ADAS with fake road signs

Security researchers from Ben Gurion University demonstrated a vulnerability in the Mobileye ADAS system used in a Renault Captur. They used drones to project fake road signs for 100 milliseconds, too quick for human perception but detectable by the system. The attack could trick the car into making unsafe maneuvers, though the system is only Level 0 (advisory). The researchers published their findings in a paper titled 'MobilBye: Attacking ADAS with Camera Spoofing'.

Delphi denies near-miss between its self-driving car and Google's autonomous vehicle

Delphi Automotive initially reported a near-miss between its self-driving Audi Q5 SUV and a Google Lexus RX400h in Palo Alto, California. A Delphi executive claimed Google's car cut off the Delphi vehicle, which took evasive action. However, Delphi later denied the incident, stating the vehicles were a lane width apart and that both cars performed correctly. Google also confirmed the cars behaved appropriately in an ordinary driving scenario.

Tesla Autopilot tricked into speeding by electrical tape on sign

Researchers from McAfee Labs demonstrated that a two-inch piece of black electrical tape stuck on a 35 mph speed limit sign can cause the Traffic Aware Cruise Control in older Tesla Model S and X vehicles to misread the sign as 85 mph and automatically accelerate. The vulnerability affects vehicles using the MobilEye EyeQ3 camera system (Hardware Pack 1). The driver can override by braking. Tesla and MobilEye were informed but did not commit to fixing the issue.

Tesla Autopilot stops for phantom stop sign on digital billboard

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University demonstrated that Tesla's Autopilot could be tricked into stopping for a split-second phantom stop sign displayed on a digital billboard. The system falsely detected the depthless object and applied the brakes in the middle of the road. The researchers disclosed their findings to Tesla and Mobileye. No actual accident occurred during the test.

Cruise alleged to rely on human operators for autonomous driving

A New York Times article alleged that Cruise's autonomous vehicles rely on human operators to achieve autonomous driving, with 1.5 workers per vehicle intervening every 2.5 to five miles. Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt responded on Hacker News, stating that remote assistance is used 2-4% of the time and that many sessions are resolved by the vehicle itself. The company declined an interview request from the NYT.

Study finds driverless car AI worse at detecting darker-skinned pedestrians

A study by researchers from Georgia Tech found that facial recognition systems used in autonomous cars are up to 12% less accurate at detecting pedestrians with darker skin tones. The bias stems from a lack of diverse training data in the BDD100K database. The researchers warn that this could lead to higher accident rates for people with darker skin if not addressed.

Waymo self-driving car hits child near Santa Monica school, US opens probe

A Waymo autonomous vehicle struck a child crossing the street near an elementary school in Santa Monica, California, on 23 January 2026, during school drop-off hours. The child sustained minor injuries. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have opened investigations into the incident. Waymo stated that the child emerged suddenly from behind a double-parked SUV and that the vehicle braked, reducing speed from 17 mph to under 6 mph before contact, and that a computer model suggested a human driver would have also hit the child.

Consumer Reports finds Tesla Autopilot operates without driver

Consumer Reports engineers tested a Tesla Model Y on a closed track and found that the Autopilot system could operate the vehicle without anyone in the driver's seat, failing to warn or detect the absence of a driver. The test highlighted a safety flaw as investigators probed a fatal crash in Texas where two men died in a Tesla Model S believed to be operating without a driver. Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
