California DMV orders Cruise to cut driverless car fleet in half after collision with firetruck

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has requested Cruise, the autonomous vehicle operator owned by General Motors, to reduce its driverless car fleet by 50% in San Francisco following a collision with a firetruck. The DMV is currently investigating the incident and has asked Cruise to take appropriate corrective actions to improve road safety. Cruise has acknowledged the complexity of the incident, stating that the AV positively identified the emergency vehicle but was unable to avoid the collision due to the occluded intersection. The safety of the traveling public remains the top priority for both Cruise and the California DMV.
