General Motors Co.’s autonomous-car unit reached an $8 million to $12 million settlement with a pedestrian who was dragged by one of its vehicles in San Francisco, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The settlement was struck earlier this year and the woman is out of the hospital, said the person, who declined to be identified discussing a private matter.
