The California Department of Motor Vehicles said Tuesday it was immediately suspending the permits that allowed the tech startup Cruise to operate driverless cars, halting the operations of one of the two companies that has been operating a commercial robotaxi fleet in the state. The DMV said that the suspension would take effect immediately and that it was acting to protect public safety.
“Our teams are currently doing an analysis to identify potential enhancements to the AV’s response to this kind of extremely rare event.” In a blog post, Cruise added that “the human driver responsible for the incident is still at large,” and the company said that, according to its simulations, “had it been a Cruise AV rather than the human driver, the AV would have detected and avoided the pedestrian, and the pedestrian could have continued on their way.
