The startup Cruise, which is part of General Motors, wants to restart its service with autonomous vehicles. The license was previously revoked due to concealing an accident.
Cruise plans to resume operations of its robotaxis in the coming weeks, possibly in Houston and Dallas, where the company previously operated, according to Bloomberg.
After one Incident in San Francisco in October, in which one of its autonomous cars hit and dragged a pedestrian, service was suspended. In order to restore the trust of the regulatory authorities and the public, drivers should initially sit in the cars.
Cruise has not yet set an exact timeline, but stressed that the goal is to restart service as quickly as possible in a city with manually operated vehicles and monitored test operations. Since the incident in San Francisco, Cruise’s license to operate in California has been suspended several times management have left the company, and almost a quarter of them Workforce was fired.
