The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) imposed a $1.5 million fine on Cruise for failing to disclose critical details of a pedestrian accident involving its self-driving vehicle.
Cruise submitted incomplete accident reports to the NHTSA, omitting the crucial fact that a pedestrian was dragged for 20 feet, leading to severe injuries.
Initially, Cruise executives relied on a video to convey the details of the accident but failed to address the crucial aspect of dragging the victim due to connectivity issues.
The NHTSA's requirements for Cruise now include a corrective action plan, detailed operational reports, and quarterly reviews to enhance safety in autonomous vehicle operations.
