While I also think that the GM/Cruise acquisition is terrible, it should be noted that the linked accident occurred during "Conventional" mode and not "Autonomous" mode.
Read the report. The automation swerved to the left, then to the right, then the driver took over, but too late. Yes, the vehicle was on manual at the point of the crash.
I refer to this as the "deadly valley". Autonomous vehicles cannot rely on the driver as an immediate backup. This is what happens if a system does that.
