SAN FRANCISCO: A motorcyclist who collided with a General Motors self-driving car after it aborted a lane change while driving autonomously in San Francisco has filed a lawsuit against the car maker. 

General Motors and its Cruise subsidiary have had a permit to test autonomous vehicles on California roads since June 2015, and have 110 vehicles and 300 test drivers approved for testing, according to the DMV.
