A motorcyclist who walked away from a collision with a General Motors self-driving car in San Francisco has settled his lawsuit with the automaker, court records show. The settlement was announced in a court filing last week and was reported by Jalopnik on Friday.

The crash occurred last December. Oscar Nilsson was riding his motorcycle along a three-lane, one-way road in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood. A self-driving car from Cruise, GM's autonomous vehicle division, was ahead of him.

The Cruise car was in the middle lane and saw an opening between two cars in the left lane. The Cruise car began shifting to the left, but as it did so the gap in the left lane started to close. The Cruise car aborted the lane change and returned to the middle lane.
