Uber and Cruise are both great examples of this, but it seems like the effect is mostly localized to the company itself that has the issue.
Uber hit and killed a jaywalking pedestrian, resulting in their self driving tech being sold to Aurora. [0]
Cruise hit a pedestrian that was flung into the cars path that a human driver hit previously. This resulted in GM completely abandoning Cruise and their future seems foggy at best. [1]
