General Motors&#8217; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40502871/gms-autonomous-driving-unit-cruise-recalls-all-u-s-vehicles-over-concerns-of-unexpected-braking-auto">autonomous driving unit</a> Cruise has agreed to a payment of $500,000 in criminal fines for providing a false record to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding a crash in San Francisco involving one of its autonomous vehicles, the Justice Department said on Thursday.
What Happened: Cruise omitted key details of the accident that occurred in San Francisco on Oct. 2, 2023, in its report to the NHTSA, where a robotaxi ran over a pedestrian who was hit by another vehicle and dragged the woman over 20 feet, the department said. 
Cruise admitted to the allegation and agreed to pay the fine, it added.
"Federal laws and regulations are in place to protect public safety on our roads. &nbsp;Companies with self-driving cars that seek to share our roads and crosswalks must be fully truthful in their reports to their regulators," Martha Boersch, Chief of the Office of the U.S. Attorney's Criminal Division, said in a statement. 
Cruise has also agreed to cooperate with government investigations, implement a Safety Compliance Program, and provide annual reports to the U.S. Attorney's Office for three years, failing which it faces prosecution.
Why It Matters: Cruise suspended all of its operations in the U.S. late last year following the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35052444/self-driving-cruise-car-accident-leaves-pedestrian-trapped-and-injured-in-san-francisco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accident in San Francisco</a>, leading to heightened regulatory scrutiny and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38606510/us-is-currently-sc-ed-ex-cruise-ceo-calls-for-manufacturing-makeover-to-win-over-chinese-auto-rivals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exit of its co-founder&nbsp;</a>and then CEO&nbsp;Kyle Vogt.
The company&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38155753/cruise-back-on-phoenix-roads-soon-gms-self-driving-unit-reportedly-gears-up-to-resume-robotaxi-testi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">resumed manual driving in the city of Phoenix</a>&nbsp;to gather road information earlier this year in April and in Houston and Dallas, Texas in June.
Cruise&nbsp;is now looking to return to operating driverless vehicles by the end of the year, GM CEO&nbsp;Mary Barra&nbsp;said during the company&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41451103/general-motors-surpasses-q3-earnings-and-revenue-estimates" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter earnings call</a> last month.
Cruise&#8217;s Financials: Cruise posted an operating loss of $417 million in the three months through the end of September, lower than the $807 million loss recorded in the corresponding period of last year. GM has spent $583 million on restructuring Cruise this year.
In July, the company also said that it is abandoning its plans to build the Origin autonomous vehicle with no pedals and instead focussing on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39903020/gms-cruise-abandons-pedal-less-origin-autonomous-vehicle-pivots-to-next-generation-chevrolet-bolt-in" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">using its next-generation Chevrolet Bolt&nbsp;</a>for autonomous driving operations.
"This addresses the regulatory uncertainty we faced with the Origin because of its unique design. In addition, per-unit costs will be much lower, which will help Cruise optimize its resources,&#8221; Barra said about the decision then.

Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) has filed a lawsuit against the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The pharmaceutical giant claims that HRSA obstructed its attempt to alter drug discount offerings to hospitals.
What Happened: As per Eli Lilly&#8217;s official statement on Thursday, the conflict centers on the federal 340B program, which requires drug manufacturers to offer discounts to healthcare providers serving low-income communities. Participation in this program is crucial for drug companies to secure funding from government health insurance programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
Eli Lilly proposed a plan to ensure 340B entities pay no more than the ceiling price by providing them with cash directly on a weekly basis. However, HRSA, a division of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, rejected this approach, stating it was inconsistent with the 340B law.
&#8220;HRSA does not have the authority to arbitrarily reject this model, which serves the original goals of the 340B program and improves transparency, efficiency, and program integrity,&#8221; the statement read.

Kennedy Jr. Rattles Vaccine Stocks: &#8216;Shoot First Reaction&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The lawsuit comes amid ongoing scrutiny of drug pricing practices. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41940958/humanitarian-organization-criticizes-eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-and-sanofi-of-having-double-standards-for-high-insulin-price">Doctors Without Borders</a> criticized Eli Lilly and other insulin manufacturers for maintaining high prices, urging them to provide affordable insulin to low- and middle-income countries.
This legal action also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41941391/johnson-johnson-challenges-government-drug-pricing-dispute-over-two-drugs">follows a similar lawsuit</a> by Johnson &amp; Johnson, which alleged the Health and Human Services Department of blocking its drug rebate plans. The 340B program has been subject to extensive legal challenges, with a U.S. appeals court previously allowing drugmakers to limit the use of outside pharmacies for dispensing under the program.
Meanwhile, Eli Lilly has been in the spotlight for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41985752/eli-lillys-detailed-phase-3-trial-data-show-99-of-patients-on-popular-mounjarozepbound-remained-diabetes-free-for-even-at-three-years">Phase 3 trial data</a> of tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound. The study showed promising results in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes in patients with pre-diabetes and obesity, highlighting the company&#8217;s focus on innovative treatments.
Price Action: Eli Lilly was down by 0.28% during pre-market hours on Friday at the time of writing, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager renowned for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has significantly increased his exposure to Chinese technology companies while simultaneously implementing protective measures against potential downside risks, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">according to regulatory filings</a>.
What Happened: Burry&#8217;s Scion Asset Management made several notable adjustments to its portfolio during the third quarter, with Chinese companies now representing its largest positions. The firm increased its stake in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) by 29%, making it the fund&#8217;s largest holding valued at over $21 million as of September&#8217;s end.
In a similar move, Scion doubled its position in JD.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>), elevating it to the fund&#8217;s second-largest holding at approximately $20 million. The firm also expanded its stake in Chinese search giant Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIDU#NASDAQ">BIDU</a>) by 67%, bringing the position to $13.2 million.
However, in what appears to be a cautionary strategy, Burry has simultaneously established put options against these same holdings. Put options typically increase in value when the underlying securities decline, suggesting a hedging strategy designed to protect against potential market volatility.

The timing of these moves coincides with Beijing&#8217;s recent economic stimulus announcements aimed at reinvigorating growth in the world&#8217;s second-largest economy. While Chinese equities initially rallied in September following these signals, gains have moderated as investors await more concrete fiscal measures.
Beyond his Chinese technology focus, Burry has also increased positions in several U.S. companies, including Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOUR#NYSE">FOUR</a>), American Coastal Insurance Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACIC#NASDAQ">ACIC</a>), and Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>).
Why It Matters: Burry&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41248334/big-short-investor-michael-burrys-china-bet-pays-off-as-top-picks-surge-nearly-60-in-2-months">top three Chinese holdings</a> have posted average gains of nearly 60% over a two-month period, according to market data.
Burry&#8217;s moves are being closely watched by market participants, particularly given his track record. He gained widespread recognition for his prescient bet against mortgage-backed securities before the 2008 global financial crisis, a story later chronicled in Michael Lewis&#8216;s bestseller &#8220;The Big Short&#8221; and its subsequent Oscar-winning film adaptation.
It&#8217;s worth noting that these positions reflect holdings as of Sep. 30, as required by SEC regulations for funds managing over $100 million in assets. Given the 45-day reporting delay and Burry&#8217;s active trading style, current positions may have already changed.
The development comes as other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/11/42000692/david-teppers-appaloosa-trims-alibaba-stake-by-476-in-q3-2024-doubles-down-on-pdd-holdings-and-jd.com">prominent investors adjust their Chinese holdings</a>. Billionaire investor David Tepper&#8217;s Appaloosa Management recently reduced its Alibaba stake by 5%, though the position remains the fund&#8217;s largest holding at 15.75% of its $6.7 billion portfolio.
