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.","locationId":"0d5aa2e8-c47a-41e2-b0b9-ccfbf395e193","effectiveAt":null,"expiresAt":null,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"none","reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-26T12:53:12.350Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-26T12:58:40.525Z","location":{"id":"0d5aa2e8-c47a-41e2-b0b9-ccfbf395e193","name":"San Francisco","slug":"san-francisco","kind":"city","parentLocationId":null,"lat":null,"lng":null,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","aliases":["San Francisco, CA","SF"],"collisionRisk":"none","reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-25T22:46:00.936Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-25T22:46:19.860Z"},"derived":{"status":"in_effect"},"sources":[{"id":"cc252495-95b6-47e6-ad49-311ff9bbac5e","regulationId":"0bada398-31f9-4800-824a-02c258fb8e32","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/nhtsa-robotaxi-cruise-pay-penalty-failing-report-san-francisco-crash-involving-pedestrian/","label":"CBS — DMV suspended permits, determined not safe for public operation","publishedAt":"2024-11-12T00:00:00.000Z","notes":null,"title":"CBS — DMV suspended permits, determined not safe for public operation","sourceName":"CBS News","mediaType":"article","videoId":null,"channel":null,"durationSec":null,"timestampSec":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-26T12:53:12.664Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-26T12:58:40.218Z"},{"id":"092ac932-f564-40f7-bedf-ede9c4d3152e","regulationId":"0bada398-31f9-4800-824a-02c258fb8e32","url":"https://www.ktvu.com/news/cruise-fined-500000-filing-false-report-about-driverless-car-dragging-pedestrian","label":"KTVU — DMV suspended permits over failure to share dragging footage","publishedAt":"2024-11-14T00:00:00.000Z","notes":null,"title":"KTVU — DMV suspended permits over failure to share dragging footage","sourceName":"KTVU FOX 2","mediaType":"article","videoId":null,"channel":null,"durationSec":null,"timestampSec":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-26T12:53:12.898Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-26T12:58:40.450Z"}],"statusEvents":[]}
