Police in San Francisco ticketed the backup driver in a self-driving Chevrolet Bolt operated by General Motors Co.’s Cruise Automation unit for allowing the car to drive too close to a pedestrian in a crosswalk in San Francisco.
Cruise says the ticket wasn’t warranted, claiming data recorded by the Bolt indicates the pedestrian was more than 10 ft away when the vehicle passed through the crosswalk. The law doesn’t specify when a vehicle should yield relative to a pedestrian’s position.
GM, which purchased San Francisco-based Cruise in 2016, aims to begin producing fully autonomous vehicles next year. The vehicles are expected to be deployed by a ride-sharing/ride-hailing service in geo-fenced areas and over roads with “known” operating conditions.
