(Original title: GM sued over self-driving car crash with motorcyclist) According to a report from Roadshow on January 25th, according to the Roadshow report, we know that this will happen sooner or later, but we don’t know when it will happen: The carmaker’s GM’s driverless car gets involved in a traffic accident and is hit by a motorcycle. The driver sued. General Motors is in awkward position because motorcyclist Oscar Nilsson claims that he was knocked down by the company’s Cruise driverless test vehicle. General Motors' so-called "advanced car trainer" (the human driver responsible for monitoring cars) was also on the Chevrolet Bolt electric car. The accident occurred in San Francisco on December 7 when the traffic was heavy. In a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in San Francisco, the Cruise test vehicle “suddenly turned to Nelson’s lane and crashed into Nielsen’s motorcycle and knocked him to the ground.†The accident report of the San Francisco Police Department showed The vehicle speed was relatively low at the time of the accident. The Cruise test vehicle traveled at a speed of nearly 20 kilometers per hour. The speed of the motorcycle was 27 kilometers per hour. In the lawsuit, Nielsen insisted that he was riding a motorcycle behind the Cruise electric car when the car turned to the left lane. Nielsen said he stopped the car and the autopilot car drove into his lane and hit him. However, General Motors' claim on the incident is different from the plaintiff. The company admitted that at the time the car was indeed in autopilot mode and changed lanes in traffic-hungry locations. But General Motors said that when his car repositioned the lane, Nielsen rode his motorcycle between the two lanes. He swept the Cruise car and then stumbled. †Nielsen's lawsuit claimed that: “After the accident, Nielsen suffered injuries to his neck and shoulders and required prolonged treatment.†In addition, Nielsen was forced to take leave due to his hands. Nielsen claims 7.5 million U.S. dollars from GM, although this figure is highly controversial. In its accident report, the San Francisco Police Department found that Nielsen was at fault. The report stated: "The person who rode the motorcycle was confirmed to have made a mistake. He tried to overtake it if conditions did not permit it." The report also showed that the Cruise test vehicle had indeed tried to suspend the lane change, and the GM recognized the driver and tried to avoid it. Open Nelson, but ultimately failed to avoid accidents. Although it is impossible to know exactly what happened, General Motors engineers will undoubtedly use the data from the pilotless test vehicle to investigate the matter, including radar and radar sensor data, and videos recorded by many cameras on the Cruise electric vehicle. Part or all of the data may also be disclosed in court. The General Motors spokesman made the following statement: Safety is our top priority when developing and testing our driverless car technology. In this case, the crash report of the San Francisco Police Department pointed out that motorcyclists should be incorporated into our lanes while ensuring safety. †Lemberg Law, representing Nelson’s law firm, did not respond immediately to the request for comment. The driverless car is still in its early stages. Although this is likely to be the first lawsuit involving an unmanned vehicle accident, it will certainly not be the last one. Nielsen sued the General Motors case as a touchstone for driverless technology because it requires long-term legal review to mature and become commercially viable. (small)
