Controversy level
- The company's Cruise selfdriving subsidiary lost its California operating permits after an October 2023 incident in which a Cruise robotaxi dragged a pedestrian about 20 feet in San Francisco and the company was found to have withheld footage from regulators (leading to a 2024 settlement and the unit's effective winddown), adding to the company's legacy from the defective ignition switches linked to at least 124 deaths that led to a $900 million U.S. settlement in 2015.
