[By morning of 10-03, leadership and 100+ employees knew that pedestrian had been dragged ~20ft. by the Cruise AV during the secondary movement after the AV came to a stop. On 10-02 and 10-03, "Cruise leadership was fixated on correcting the inaccurate media narrative" that Cruise's AV had caused the accident This led Cruise to convey information about the Nissan and omit "other important information" about the accident to "the media, regulators, and other government officials" "The reasons for Cruise’s failings in this instance are numerous: poor leadership, mistakes in judgment, lack of coordination, an 'us versus them' mentality with regulators, and a fundamental misapprehension of Cruise’s obligations of accountability and transparency to the government and the public. Cruise must take decisive steps to address these issues in order to restore trust and credibility." "the DMV Suspension Order is a direct result of a proverbial self-inflicted wound by certain senior Cruise leadership and employees who appear not to have fully appreciated how a regulated business should interact with its regulators ... As one Cruise employee stated in a text message to another employee about this matter, our 'leaders have failed us.'"][6]
