General Motors Co agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a motorcyclist involved in a minor crash with one of its self-driving cars in San Francisco late last year, the US automaker said. 

Oscar Nilsson sued GM in US District Court in January for negligence over a December 2017 crash in which he was injured.
