The aftermath of the incident was caught on camera and shared on social media by a passerby.
A driverless Cruise autonomous vehicle collided with a semi-truck in San Francisco on August 7, General Motors' autonomous driving unit confirmed.
"We're actively investigating, but we can confirm that the truck attempted a left turn from the right lane while our car was passing. The AV came to a complete stop to avoid a collision when it detected the truck beginning to move, but the truck continued and struck our vehicle.
It's possible that the Cruise robotaxi didn't recognize this type of maneuver, but even so, the fact that it stopped in the path of the turning semi as the truck was signaling a left turn does not look very good.
