Previously, Cruise had been operating its self-driving robotaxi service in specific areas of San Francisco during nighttime hours. However, the company recently expanded its operations to cover all areas of the city, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. While initially limited to employees and “power users” who were part of the testing phase, Cruise has gradually opened daytime rides to the general public in certain parts of San Francisco since April. The company has been steadily expanding its availability of daytime rides and intends to offer the service to paying customers in the near future.
