Cruise LLC, the robotaxi company owned by General Motors Co., recalled its automated-driving system and deployed a software update to part of its fleet after one of its vehicles dragged a pedestrian struck by another car in San Francisco last month.
The company also said in a blog post Wednesday that it will hire a chief safety officer and has taken steps to determine how the incident happened and how it was handled.
