LOADING ERROR LOADINGDue to “an unreasonable risk to public safety,” the California Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday immediately suspended Cruise from operating driverless taxis in the state. “Public safety remains the California DMV’s top priority, and the department’s autonomous vehicle regulations provide a framework to facilitate the safe testing and deployment of this technology on California public roads,” the department said in a statement. “When there is an unreasonable risk to public safety, the DMV can immediately suspend or revoke permits.”AdvertisementA Cruise spokesperson confirmed the suspension to HuffPost, saying the company would pause operations on driverless vehicles in San Francisco. In addition to deeming the vehicles unsafe for public operation, regulators accused the company of misrepresenting information about their safety. A driverless Cruise robotaxi is operating in San Francisco, California, on July 24, 2023.
