This week, the California DMV suspended Cruise's permit to deploy self-driving vehicles and test driverless operations on California public roads after identifying safety risks. DMV notified Cruise of the suspension on 10/24, and the suspension is effective immediately.
Going forward, DMV will not approve reopening permits until it can confirm that it meets DMV-required safety standards.
According to the DMV's statement, in addition to the safety risks, there were also concerns about misrepresentation of information regarding the safety of self-driving technology.
Looking at the Cruise app, the service has been temporarily suspended as of yesterday, making it impossible to reserve a self-driving taxi.
