Not one fall guy, nine execs.
It sounds like they got caught trying to hide something.

Dec 13 (Reuters) - General Motors’ Cruise robotaxi unit dismissed nine key people amid an ongoing safety investigation, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday, which the company confirmed included Chief Operating Officer Gil West.
The investigation relates to an Oct. 2 incident in which a woman was struck and dragged by a Cruise vehicle in San Francisco.
The shakeup follows weeks of turmoil at the robotaxi unit, which had to pull all its vehicles from testing in the United States to conduct a safety review after the accident. CEO Kyle Vogt and co-founder Dan Kan both resigned in recent weeks and Cruise is preparing for a round of layoffs this month. . . .
