NHTSA said its Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received two reports of incidents involving Cruise autonomous vehicles where pedestrians were injured.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into General Motors' self-driving unit Cruise to determine whether it has taken enough measures to protect pedestrians. The chief US auto safety regulator said its Office of Defects Investigation has received two reports of incidents involving Cruise autonomous vehicles where pedestrians were injured, according to Reuters and AP. NHTSA added it identified two further incidents in videos posted to public websites.
In August, the California Department of Motor Vehicles said it was investigating incidents involving Cruise AVs in San Francisco, after a Cruise robotaxi was involved in a crash with a fire truck. At the time, the California DMV asked for a reduction in the number of Cruise AVs allowed to drive in San Francisco. Cruise agreed to cut its SF fleet in half as authorities investigated two crashes involving Cruise AVs in the city.
