Jeff Bleich, a former special counsel to President Barack Obama who in 2020 joined self-driving taxi startup Cruise as chief legal and policy officer, was among nine company leaders dismissed this week in a shake-up spurred by an internal probe of an early October accident.
Reuters on Wednesday was first to report the ousters, which stemmed from an Oct. 2 incident in San Francisco in which one of the vehicles ran over and dragged a pedestrian, severely injuring her.
