    The latest Cruise incident occurred Thursday night when a Cruise robotaxi and an emergency vehicle crashed and left a passenger injured. Cruise said in a social media post that one of its self-driving Chevy Bolt EVs entered an intersection on a green traffic light at Polk and Turk streets when it was struck by an emergency vehicle that appeared to be en route to an emergency scene.

    I was told that these cars were safer than regular ones. I guess they are 99% of the time. Unfortunately, crashing into an emergency vehicle is a huge deal.

    Wouldn’t that get a normal person’s license suspended? Why is this “driver” treated differently?
