California’s DMV is suspending Cruise’s permit to test self-driving cars in the state over concerns the vehicles pose a risk to public safety.
The suspension occurs three weeks after a Cruise self-driving vehicle accidentally rolled over a pedestrian in San Francisco after she was flung into the vehicle’s path during a hit-and-run. California’s DMV didn’t mention the accident in the suspension, but the department did cite the “performance” of the self-driving vehicles, which the DMV has determined “are not safe for the public’s operation.”
California’s DMV also alleges that Cruise has “misrepresented” information about the safety of its autonomous vehicles. That said, the suspension can be lifted.
