Cruise met with Austin leaders amid a federal investigation after reports of their vehicles injuring two pedestrians in California.

The vehicles operate entirely on their own. But some viral videos have shown them getting stuck or stalling, prompting the federal government to get involved."If anything abnormal happens during traffic, they just get super confused and like, clustered," said Sara Beth Beasley, a junior at the University of Texas."Because it's a computer, it doesn't get tired, it doesn't get distracted. It doesn't drive drunk.

"I lived actually at that intersection where that video went viral and they were just blocking traffic. They get really confused really easily, which was super annoying," said Beasley.Diaz defended the vehicles, saying that they're"always evolving." "There are software updates, if not every two weeks, then once a month to improve the behaviors," said Diaz.

"I've been with worse drivers before, so, I mean, it's not like they're reckless, they're just slow. They're overly cautious of anything," said Austinite Cameron Smith.The federal investigation is still in its preliminary stages but Diaz says the data proves that they're a safe option. "We are 64% less likely to be in a collision than another rideshare company and 94% less likely to be the primary contributor of that collision," said Diaz."Cruise’s safety record over 5 million miles continues to outperform comparable human drivers at a time when pedestrian injuries and deaths are at an all-time high.
