tennyson on interstate 880. the suspect vehicle subsequently exited the freeway here at a street. as he came down the off ramp on a red light, he blew the intersection. the officers were coming to the bottom of the off ramp, started slowing to clear the intersection. because of the visual, i wouldn't say deficiencies, the obstructions here involving this over-crossing here, they didn't observe another vehicle, civilian vehicle traveling eastbound. it was a rather low impact speed within the middle of the intersection here. the officers were operating in a code 3 with their lights and sirens. >> reporter: this car behind us is not the suspect vehicle? >> this car behind us is not the suspect vehicle. the suspect vehicle actually continued on back on to the freeway. it was witnessed by other law enforcement agencies at a high rate of speed, driving in a reckless manner. >> reporter: thank you so much

automation offices. the cars are here on the streets of san francisco. but they are now being called into question. a motorcyclist, oscar nielsen says a self-driving chevy bolt started to change lanes so nielsen moved up. then the car didn't make the lane change but moved back hitting and knocking over nielsen. the police report blames nielsen for passing a vehicle when it wasn't safe. nielsen's lawyer says he disagrees with that conclusion, saying his client was innocent and just driving down the road. this chevy had a backup driver. as he tried to grab the wheel and steer away, it was too late. a statement from gm says safety is their primary focus and point to the police report, blaming the motorcycle driver. cruise automation say the self-driving cars had about a half a dozen collisions. but in all of them, the company blames the other drivers, saying the chevy bolts were never to blame. reporting live in san francisco, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news.
