The state DMV is investigating “recent concerning incidents” involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco and called for the robotaxi business to have no more than 50 driverless vehicles on the roads during the day.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles , the agency that regulates the testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles in the state, requested that General Motors’ Cruise robotaxi business reduce its fleet by 50 percent in San Francisco after one of the driverless taxi service’s Chevrolet Bolts crashed with a fire truck last week.
“Safety of the traveling public is the California DMV’s top priority,” the DMV said in a statement issued last week. “The primary focus of the DMV’s regulations is the safe operation of autonomous vehicles and safety of the public who share the road with these vehicles.” "The DMV is investigating recent concerning incidents involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco. The DMV is in contact with Cruise and law enforcement officials to determine the facts and requested Cruise to immediately reduce its active fleet of operating vehicles by 50% until the investigation is complete and Cruise takes appropriate corrective actions to improve road safety.
The DMV reserves the right, following investigation of the facts, to suspend or revoke testing and/or deployment permits if there is determined to be an unreasonable risk to public safety.”
