As a result of these incidents, the DMV requested that Cruise reduce its autonomous vehicle fleet by half while investigations are carried out. During the daytime, Cruise will be limited to operating 50 autonomous vehicles, and at night, the limit will be 150 vehicles.
The DMV stated that its primary focus is on the safety of autonomous vehicles and the public sharing the road with them. It also noted that it has the authority to suspend or revoke testing and deployment permits if it deems a company’s vehicles to be a threat to public safety.
