Cruise initially withheld footage from the DMV that showed the robotaxi dragging the pedestrian along the road
Cruise has had its permits for testing autonomous vehicles in California suspended immediately, due to one of its vehicles hitting a pedestrian. The Order of Suspension published by the California Department of Motor Vehicles reveals the suspension comes after a Cruise vehicle hit a pedestrian on October 2, 2023, at approximately 9:30 p.m. on or around 5th and Market Streets in San Francisco. The self-driving vehicle hit and ran over the pedestrian despite braking hard.
In explaining the basis for the suspension, the DMV says that Cruise’s vehicles “are not safe for the public’s operation” and that they “may lack the ability to respond safely and appropriately during incidents involving a pedestrian so as not to unnecessarily put the pedestrian or others at risk of further injury.” The document adds that Cruise’s initial omission of the full video hinders the department’s ability to effectively and timely evaluate the safety of its vehicles.
