Two Cruise driverless taxis blocked an ambulance carrying a critically injured patient who later died at a hospital, a San Francisco Fire Department report said, in another incident involving self-driving cars in the city.
It said that a police vehicle in another lane had to be moved in order for the ambulance to leave.
The patient, who had been struck by a car, was pronounced dead about 20 to 30 minutes after arriving at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, about 2.4 miles away from the accident.
Cruise, an autonomous vehicle subsidiary of General Motors, said that it was not at fault.
The footage also showed that other vehicles, including another ambulance, passed by the right side of the Cruise taxi.
