self-driving cruise taxi
A woman was dragged by a self-driving Cruise taxi in San Francisco. The company is paying her millions
General Motors' autonomous car company, Cruise, has reportedly agreed to pay an 8-million to 12-million settlement to a woman who was hospitalized after getting dragged along the pavement by a self-driving taxi in San Francisco last year. The woman, a pedestrian, was struck by a hit-and-run vehicle at 5th and Market streets and thrown into the path of Cruise's self-driving car, which pinned her underneath, according to Cruise and authorities. The car dragged her about 20 feet as it tried to pull out of the roadway before coming to a stop. She sustained "multiple traumatic injuries" and was treated at the scene before being hospitalized. It's unclear when the settlement was reached or the exact amount, sources familiar with the situation told Fortune and Bloomberg.
