The orders of suspension followed a barrage of incidents since Cruise received approval to conduct around-the-clock robotaxi service in San Francisco.
Cruise has grounded its driverless operations after collisions, a clash with regulators, and suspension of its permits that allowed it to operate a robotaxi ride hailing service California.
The DMV record said,"The AV traveled approximately 20 feet and reached a speed of 7 mph before coming to a subsequent and final stop," and"the pedestrian remained under the vehicle." The DMV wrote in its orders of suspension sent to Cruise,"the manufacturer's vehicles are not safe for the public's operation" and that they"may lack the ability to respond in a safe and appropriate manner during incidents involving a pedestrian.
This isn't related to any new on-road incidents, and supervised AV operations will continue. We think it's the right thing to do during a period when we need to be extra vigilant when it comes to risk, relentlessly focused on safety, & taking steps to rebuild public trust."
