The drone braked and remained in place. While police teams intervened at the scene, the woman was taken to hospital.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is aware of this incident and is working with local authorities to gather additional information. Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors, has expressed concern for the victim and is working with police to identify the driver at fault. There were no passengers in the cruise vehicle.
Cruise has been testing its autonomous fleet in San Francisco since August, but the incident highlights ongoing concerns and scrutiny about the safety of autonomous vehicles in urban environments.
