California suspends Cruise's driverless robotaxi permits after pedestrian-dragging incident

Following the Oct 2, 2023 pedestrian-dragging incident, the California DMV suspended Cruise's permits to operate driverless vehicles, citing the company's failure to share footage of the dragging and determining the vehicles were not safe for public operation. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) separately suspended Cruise's driverless testing permit roughly three weeks after the incident. Cruise pulled all driverless vehicles off public roads nationwide in response. The suspensions effectively ended Cruise's driverless commercial robotaxi operations in California.

Jurisdiction: San Francisco
