California's DMV just pulled the plug on their robotaxi service, Cruise, due to major concerns about public safety. ๐จ
The move comes on the heels of several concerning incidents, the most alarming of which involved a Cruise robotaxi running over a pedestrian who had already been hit by another vehicle. ๐ณ
The suspension delivers significant challenges to GM's plans for Cruise, including their projected $1B in revenue by 2025.
Despite this setback, Cruise vehicles can continue to operate in autonomous mode, but a human driver must be present to take control in case of any issues or dangers. You know, like, traffic cones. ๐ฆบ
