In a truly shocking turn of events, a deeply unsettling incident involving a self-driving taxi has recently come to the forefront. As reported by the well-regarded L.A. Times, the victim, a woman, was in the midst of crossing the street when she was suddenly and quite unexpectedly struck by a conventional car, sending her tumbling perilously into the path of a Cruise robotaxi.
Adding to the sheer horror of the situation, while trapped beneath the taxi, it inexplicably set itself in motion, moving at an approximate speed of 7 mph and subjecting the unfortunate victim to a nightmarish 20-foot ordeal of being dragged along the pavement.
In a further twist to this harrowing tale, it has come to light that Cruise, a company specializing in autonomous vehicles, has recently faced the suspension of its operating license in the renowned city of San Francisco by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The primary reason behind this drastic measure is a plethora of genuine safety concerns associated with Cruise's robotaxi operations.
Remarkably, the company has taken the audacious stance of shifting the blame for this calamity onto the human driver who initially collided with the woman, a stance that defies belief given the alarming sequence of events.
