General Motors’ autonomous vehicle company Cruise can’t shake the safety scrutiny over its driverless robotaxis. Now the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is digging into whether or not these AVs are safe for the pedestrians being forced to live with them.

Vehicle-related deaths are rising even though cars are built safer than ever. The popularity of larger vehicles may be to blame.
