San Francisco Fire Department via... Acquire Licensing Rights Read moreWASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - U.S. and California officials said on Tuesday they are in discussions with General Motors' (GM.N) self-driving unit Cruise about an accident in San Francisco involving a pedestrian hit by a vehicle into the path of a robot taxi. The self-driving vehicle came to a stop on top of the pedestrian, the San Francisco Fire Department said on social media, adding the victim was freed using rescue tools and transported to a nearby trauma center. San Francisco police said Cruise was cooperating in the investigation. The DMV in August said it was investigating "recent concerning incidents" involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco and asked the company to take half its robotaxis off the roads, a request Cruise complied with. NHTSA said Cruise vehicles "may engage in inappropriately hard braking or become immobilized."

A Cruise self-driving car, which is owned by General Motors Corp, is seen outside the company's headquarters in San Francisco. A Cruise self-driving car was involved in an accident with a San Francisco Fire Department truck just one week after California regulators approved 24-7 robotaxi service in San Francisco. The San Francisco Police Department was not immediately available for comment on the matter. California's Public Utility Commission voted 3 to 1 last week to approve the rollout of driverless, fare-collecting vehicles in San Francisco. Self-driving cars from Cruise and Alphabet -subsidiary Waymo had already become regular sights on San Francisco roads in the preceding months.
