Driverless car firm Cruise is forced to suspend its service in San Francisco as the California DMV calls out safety issues.
LATEST, Oct. 24, 2:25 p.m. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has suspended Cruise's permits to deploy driverless vehicles as commercial taxis in the state, or run any tests on public streets without backup drivers behind the wheel. Tuesday's orders, obtained by SFGATE, blame the suspension on employees of the San Francisco-based firm hiding the full story behind a crash that reportedly left a pedestrian severely injured on Oct. 2 in San Francisco.
The DMV’s Office of Public Affairs told SFGATE that Cruise will need to prove how it is addressing the “deficiencies that led to the suspensions” but did not elaborate on what evidence might suffice. The company must request hearings to reinstate both the deployment permit and the driverless testing permit.
