Cruise Robotaxi

Cruise robotaxi technology aims to provide autonomous passenger transportation, but recent incidents highlight critical safety challenges. Research currently focuses on improving perception systems to reliably detect and track pedestrians, even in complex, post-collision scenarios, and enhancing decision-making algorithms to avoid risky maneuvers, particularly after initial impacts. These investigations underscore the need for robust safety protocols, including more conservative operational strategies and transparent incident reporting, to ensure public trust and responsible deployment of autonomous vehicles.
