RIDE-HAIL FAIL: Feds probe Cruise autonomous vehicle incidents in San Francisco
FOX Business' Liz Claman spoke to General Motors CEO Mary Barra about GM’s Cruise robotaxi unit. They discussed the technology, safety of the driverless cars and we got Barra’s reaction to Arm CEO Rene Haas describing his ride in a Cruise vehicle.
There have been several reported incidents of the vehicles exhibiting hard braking or becoming fully immobilized in the road, blocking traffic. "This is against the backdrop of over 40,000 deaths each year on American roads. There’s always a balance between healthy regulatory scrutiny and the innovation we desperately need to save lives, which is why we’ll continue to fully cooperate with NHTSA or any regulator in achieving that shared goal."Cruise has reported 29 accidents so far this year, most of which were minor and include bumping into other cars while parking.
