The California Public Utilities Commission has ultimate say over whether Cruise gets the permit to begin charging the public for rides.Cruise said state law permits commercial vehicles to park away from a curb when reasonably necessary to load or unload passengers. And San Francisco had no special restrictions in the areas cited in SFMTA's complaint about Cruise.
