JUST LIKE MY SOYBERPUNKS!!!
In that crash, which occurred around 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of 5th and Market streets, an unrelated car struck a pedestrian, knocking them into the path of a driverless Cruise car, according to the DMV. The autonomous vehicle braked hard, but still collided with and ran over the pedestrian before coming to a complete stop. Cruise representatives met with officials from both the DMV and California Highway Patrol to discuss the collision, according to the DMV. During the meeting, Cruise employees allegedly played footage from the car's onboard cameras, which ended once the car came to a stop.
But DMV officials said they later learned there was more to the story, and requested additional footage from Cruise, which the company sent 10 days after the initial meeting. The extended footage showed that, after the initial stop, the car then resumed driving and attempted a “pullover maneuver,” traveling about 20 feet while the pedestrian was still caught under the vehicle, according to the DMV.
“Cruise failed to disclose that the AV executed a pullover manuever that increased the risk of, and may have caused, further injury to a pedestrian,” the DMV wrote in a report justifying the suspensions. “Cruise's omission hinders the ability of the department to effectively and timely evaluate the safe operation of Cruise's vehicles and puts the safety of the public at risk.”
LATEST, Oct. 24, 2:25 p.m. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has suspended Cruise's permits to deploy driverless vehicles as commercial taxis in the state, or run any tests on public streets without backup drivers behind the wheel. Tuesday's orders, obtained by SFGATE, blame the suspension on employees of the San Francisco-based firm hiding the full story behind a crash that reportedly left a pedestrian severely injured on Oct. 2 in San Francisco.

Waymo has been driving around the Bay Area for almost 10 years, I don't know how long cruise has been doing it but I think it's about 5 years? I agree with the commenter that Waymo has been consistently the best self driving car company. No fatalities so far and very few crashes. For the most part this is because they were very conservative in their rollout, they spent 4ish years with cars rolling around city streets capped at 30 mph with drivers who could take control. Then as they expanded test cars they kept drivers who could overrule the car for a long time whenever they expanded somewhere new. I think they only rolled out fully driverless cars in the last year or so in SF, which they've been in for 5 years already.

They've been driving around for a little while now. Fewer problems with sabotage than I was expecting.
