A driverless Cruise autonomous vehicle collided with a semi-truck in San Francisco on 7 August, General Motors' autonomous driving unit confirmed. The company added that there were no passengers in the Cruise AV at the time, and no injuries were reported. In June 2022, a Cruise AV was involved in an accident with a Toyota Prius after the robotaxi turned left in front of the oncoming Prius. One passenger in the Cruise car was taken to the hospital, while four more passengers (two from the robotaxi and two from the Toyota) needed medical attention for minor injuries. Then in March 2023, a Cruise AV rear-ended a San Francisco municipal bus that was on the right lane of the road.
