NHTSA is probing Cruise over two incidents in San Francisco where driverless vehicles struck pedestrians.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary probe into incidents involving Cruise driverless vehicles striking pedestrians.
The probe is focused on two reports to NHTSA and a further two incidents the regulator identified on "public websites."A woman crossing a normally busy stretch of downtown San Francisco suffered serious injuries Monday night after a hit-and-run driver struck her, throwing her into the path of an oncoming driverless Cruise car, which then ran her over, according to video recorded by the autonomous vehicle that Cruise showed to the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit.
Cruise said that the NHTSA had not spoken with the company about the August incident or the two incidents apparently posted on social media. The company also said the pedestrian was transported after experiencing knee pain. "Cruise's safety record over 5 million miles continues to outperform comparable human drivers at a time when pedestrian injuries and deaths are at an all-time high," Cruise spokesperson Hannah Lindow said in a statement to CNBC. "Cruise communicates regularly with NHTSA and has consistently cooperated with each of NHTSA's requests for information – whether associated with an investigation or not – and we plan to continue doing so.
