(Reuters) – U.S. auto safety regulators said on Tuesday they have opened a preliminary evaluation into about 594 vehicles of General Motors (NYSE: )’ self-driving unit Cruise LLC.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened the probe after receiving reports of incidents in which vehicles equipped with Cruise’s Automated Driving System (ADS) may not have exercised appropriate caution around pedestrians.
