A pedestrian in San Francisco faces multiple life-threatening injuries after a driver hit her and an autonomous vehicle then ran over her. Authorities struggled to free the woman from underneath the Cruise<\/a> AV. The incident raises concerns about how autonomous vehicles will handle future incidents.<\/p>\n

Authorities say that a human-driven vehicle hit a pedestrian late on Monday night before speeding away. As a result, it pushed the person directly in front of an autonomous<\/a> Cruise vehicle which itself ran over the woman and came to a stop on top of her. Cruise released a statement that was quick to point out how the car itself wasn’t at fault for the initial contact.<\/p>\n

“The initial impact was severe and launched the pedestrian directly in front of the AV. The AV then braked aggressively to minimize the impact. The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene,” it said. According to San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson Justin Schorr, the woman suffered several life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
