近日，通用汽车旗下的自动驾驶出租车公司Cruise拟支付75000美元（约合53.7万元人民币），以解决加州监管机构对其隐瞒自动驾驶汽车撞到行人一案的调查。去年10月2日，一名行人在路上被一辆车撞倒，随后被Cruise的自动驾驶测试车拖行近6米，引发广泛关注。事发后，加州暂停了Cruise的测试许可证，并要求其出席今年2月6日的听证会。
Cruise因误导公众和监管机构而受到指责。为解决这一问题，该公司已解雇包括CEO和首席法律及政策官在内的9名高管，并请求推迟听证会，寻求替代的争议解决方式。此外，Cruise去年12月宣布裁员24%，涉及3800名员工中的900人。
Cruise在一份文件中表示，调查预计将在2月6日前完成，届时将公布调查结果。此事件再次引发对自动驾驶技术安全的关注，也使得通用汽车在自动驾驶领域的发展受到质疑。

Recently, Cruise, a subsidiary of General Motors focused on autonomous taxi services, has offered to pay $75,000 (approximately 537,000 RMB) to settle the California regulatory investigation into its concealment of a pedestrian collision case. On October 2nd last year, a pedestrian was hit by a car and subsequently dragged nearly 6 meters by a Cruise autonomous test vehicle, sparking widespread attention. After the incident, California suspended Cruise’s testing license and ordered it to attend a hearing on February 6th this year.
Cruise has been criticized for misleading the public and regulatory authorities. To resolve this issue, the company has fired nine executives, including the CEO and Chief Legal and Policy Officer, and requested a postponement of the hearing, seeking an alternative dispute resolution method. Additionally, Cruise announced a 24% staff reduction in December, affecting 900 of its 3,800 employees.
In a filing, Cruise stated that the investigation is expected to be completed before February 6th, when the results will be announced. This incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of autonomous technology, questioning General Motors’ development in the field of autonomous driving.
