The DMV today handed down an edict barring Cruise from operating driverless vehicles 'effective immediately'
Cruise got wind of the Teamsters' planned action at the company's 333 Brannan parking lot, and moved its vehicles out ahead of time. Coincidentally, the DMV revoked Cruise's license simultaneously with the demonstration.
“We learned today at 10:30 am PT of the California DMV’s suspension of our driverless permits,” read a statement from Cruise. “As a result, we will be pausing operations of our driverless AVs in San Francisco.and have the latest stories from Mission Local delivered directly to your inbox. “Better late than never,” texted Board President Aaron Peskin from the meeting. “San Francisco has long held that Cruise vehicles were not ready for prime time and the state should never have allowed their unlimited deployment in the first place. It’s a full, albeit late, vindication of San Francisco’s position.”
“The DMV has provided Cruise with the steps needed to apply to reinstate its suspended permits, which the DMV will not approve until the company has fulfilled the requirements to the department’s satisfaction,” reads the DMV’s statement. “This decision does not impact the company’s permit for testing with a safety driver.”
