The California Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday suspended Cruise's deployment and testing permits for its autonomous vehicles, effective immediately.
The news follows a barrage of safety concerns and incidents since Cruise, owned by General Motors, received approval in August for round-the-clock robotaxi service in San Francisco.
A Cruise self-driving car, which is owned by General Motors Corp, is seen outside the company's headquarters in San Francisco. The DMV said the suspension was based on a number of factors. It cited regulations stating that "the Department determines the manufacturer's vehicles are not safe for the public's operation," and "the manufacturer has misrepresented any information related to safety of the autonomous technology of its vehicles."
"We learned today at 10:30 am PT of the California DMV's suspension of our driverless permits," Cruise spokesperson Hannah Lindow told CNBC in a statement. "As a result, we will be pausing operations of our driverless AVs in San Francisco."they were investigating Cruise following pedestrian injuries.
