California Suspends Cruise's Driverless Car Permits in San Francisco
TL;DR Summary
California's Department of Motor Vehicles has ordered Cruise, a General Motors subsidiary, to suspend its driverless taxi service in San Francisco due to safety concerns. The decision comes after a series of traffic mishaps, including an incident where a Cruise car dragged a pedestrian 20 feet after a crash. This suspension is a setback for Cruise and the driverless car industry as a whole, as it could lead to increased scrutiny from federal regulators. Cruise can still test its autonomous cars in California, but with safety drivers who can take over in emergencies.
