“Cruise self-driving cars have been in nine hit-and-run accidents this year in San Francisco.
And a couple of patterns from these collisions may surprise you.
Almost all nine of Cruise’s 2022 self-driving accidents have led to the collision’s human driver fleeing the area, San Francisco Examiner reports.”
