Cruise has begun manual data collection in Seattle and Washington, DC, a first step toward launching commercial services.
"We're pipelining our deployment playbook across several cities simultaneously now,"autonomous vehicle
companies have stuck to testing along the sun belt or in cities with mild weather. Inclement weather like rain or snow can affect the ability of sensors, like lidar, radar and cameras, to accurately perceive the environment and make safe driving decisions. As a rainy city with plenty of hills, Seattle will present a unique challenge for Cruise's self-driving system.
Before the company can begin testing in Seattle, it'll have to secure a permit from the Seattle Department of Transportation under the agency's. Amazon's Zoox and Nvidia both hold AV permits from Seattle, which require a human driver in the vehicle to monitor and take over the vehicle as needed. Cruise has not confirmed whether it has already applied for a Seattle AV permit.
