The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into Cruise, the self-driving arm of General Motors, following reports of pedestrians being injured by its robotaxis. The probe comes after Cruise shared two incident reports of such incidents. This investigation adds to the scrutiny faced by Cruise, which has already been subject to a safety investigation by federal regulators. The NHTSA's action highlights the growing concerns surrounding the safety of autonomous vehicles and their impact on pedestrian safety. Cruise's driverless cars have been operating in Phoenix for years, but San Francisco has proven to be a challenging environment for their deployment. The company has also faced job cuts recently.
