The move came just weeks after a self-driving car operated by Cruise ran over a woman after she was first knocked in front of it by a hit-and-run driver in San Francisco. Video presented to AFP by Cruise showed the self-driving car and another vehicle slightly ahead to its left moving through an intersection with a green light when the second car hit the woman. The Cruise autonomous vehicle stopped atop the woman, while the other car left the scene, video showed. The driver of the car that initially struck the woman was still being sought, according to Cruise.
