In that screenshot, you can see a pedestrian is moving towards the road (but not yet on the road proper, he is still between two parked cars) and the Cruise has already decided to illegally drive with two wheels on the wrong side of the road, over a double yellow line, to avoid driving close to the pedestrian.
Two seconds later in that video the pedestrian has run into the path of the driverless Cruise car, and the car has stopped. You can view the full video here:

This is a completely different incident.
Why would you just run across the road like that without looking?
Pretty sure they were gunning for insurance fraud.
