In latest Cruise incident, video shows pedestrian struck by
human-driven car, then run over by robotaxi
The San Francisco Police Department is investigating an October 2
incident that left a woman stuck underneath a Cruise robotaxi after
being hit by a human-driven vehicle.
Video captured by Cruise and viewed by TechCrunch shows a robotaxi
braking and then running over a pedestrian who is laying in the street
after being struck by a human-driven car and launched in front of the autonomous vehicle. Cruise said the driver of the vehicle who
initially hit the pedestrian fled the scene.
Cruise said in its account of the events that the robotaxi "braked aggressively" to minimize impact. Still, the pedestrian was run over
and then stuck under the vehicle, according to police as well as video
from local bystanders that show the person under the robotaxi.
