Instead, Cruise never made it to the end of 2024. It all culminated in an incident on October 7th, 2023, when a Cruise vehicle in San Francisco struck and dragged a pedestrian over 20 feet, seriously injuring her. The victim was initially struck by a hit-and-run driver, which launched her into the path of the Cruise car.

The article from The Verge discusses Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors (GM), which is facing significant challenges in its robotaxi operations. Despite receiving substantial funding from GM, Cruise has encountered numerous setbacks including safety concerns, regulatory scrutiny, and operational difficulties. The company has been forced to pause its driverless taxi services in several cities following incidents that raised public safety issues. These challenges have led to a reevaluation of Cruise's ambitious plans for autonomous vehicle deployment. The article highlights the inherent risks in the autonomous vehicle industry, where technological promise meets real-world complexities, regulatory hurdles, and public skepticism. Cruise's situation underscores the broader industry's struggle to transition from experimental phases to reliable, scalable commercial services.
