No set time for the lifting of suspension
The California Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday suspended robotaxis produced by General Motors Co. autonomous-vehicle unit Cruise from operating in San Francisco, citing safety concerns.
“The DMV has provided Cruise with the steps needed to apply to reinstate its suspended permits, which the DMV will not approve until the company has fulfilled the requirements to the department’s satisfaction,” the DMV said. The California Public Utilities Commission in August voted to allow a broad expansion of robotaxi services in San Francisco despite fierce opposition from city leaders.
A week after the vote, however, Cruise agreed to a request from the California DMV to cut the number of autonomous vehicles it operates in the city after a crash involving one of Cruise’s driverless taxis and a fire truck.
