"We had an issue earlier this week that caused some of our vehicles to cluster together," a Cruise spokesperson said. "While it was resolved and no passengers were impacted, we apologize to anyone who was inconvenienced."

The vehicles were recovered through a combination of remote assistance and manual retrieval.
