California DMV suspends Cruise's self-driving car permits, effective immediately
Publishing timestamp: 2023-10-24 16:29:16
Summary
The California Department of Motor Vehicles has suspended Cruise's deployment and testing permits for its autonomous vehicles due to safety concerns and incidents. This comes after Cruise received approval for round-the-clock robotaxi service in San Francisco. The decision was based on regulations that allow suspension if the vehicles are deemed unsafe or if the manufacturer has misrepresented safety information. Cruise will cooperate with the investigation, but its driverless AVs in San Francisco will be paused. The suspension does not affect Cruise's permit for testing with a safety driver.
