Description: In an initial report, a Cruise robotaxi was said to have delayed a San Francisco ambulance transporting Sammy Davis, a critically injured 69-year-old hit by a city bus. Davis later died. Subsequent clarification revealed that Cruise was not at fault for the fatality; the actual cause was a human-operated city bus. Despite this, the incident is included as it highlights challenges in the interaction between autonomous vehicles and emergency services in urban settings.
Editor Notes: Initial reports in this case indicated that a Cruise robotaxi obstructed an ambulance carrying Sammy Davis, a critically injured 69-year-old man, leading to delayed medical attention. Davis later died from his injuries. These early accounts led to public scrutiny and questions regarding the safety of autonomous vehicles in emergency scenarios. However, subsequent official statements have clarified that Cruise was not at fault for Davis's death. The man was actually struck by a human-operated city bus, and city officials have stated that the delay caused by the robotaxi did not contribute to the fatal outcome. The report remains in the database to document the evolving understanding of autonomous vehicles' roles and responsibilities in complex urban environments.

Variantes
Une "Variante" est un incident qui partage les mêmes facteurs de causalité, produit des dommages similaires et implique les mêmes systèmes intelligents qu'un incident d'IA connu. Plutôt que d'indexer les variantes comme des incidents entièrement distincts, nous listons les variations d'incidents sous le premier incident similaire soumis à la base de données. Contrairement aux autres types de soumission à la base de données des incidents, les variantes ne sont pas tenues d'avoir des rapports en preuve externes à la base de données des incidents.
