California's DMV has requested Cruise cut its San Francisco fleet in half following one of its autonomous vehicles' crash with a fire truck last night. Cruise told KTVU they will comply. After emergency personnel loaded the victim into an ambulance, they encountered delays attributed to two stalled Cruise vehicles, which hindered the ambulance's departure, according to the fire department. The person who was hit later died from their injuries.
The San Francisco Fire Department has cited this delay as a contributing factor to what they describe as a "poor outcome." Cruise responded to the fire department's account of the events with the following statement: "On August 14 two Cruise AVs encountered an active emergency scene at an intersection in which a pedestrian had been hit by a human driven car. The first vehicle promptly clears the area once the light turns green and the other stops in the lane to yield to first responders who are directing traffic.
