Cruise's Autonomous Vehicle Woes: Production Halted and Recognition Struggles
TL;DR
General Motors plans to temporarily halt production of its fully autonomous Cruise Origin van, following the recent suspension of Cruise's license by California regulators. The company believes it has produced enough vehicles for the near-term and will resume production when ready. Cruise had petitioned U.S. regulators to deploy up to 2,500 self-driving Origin vehicles annually without human controls, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently investigating the company's safety precautions. Cruise's board has hired law firm Quinn Emanuel and technology consultancy Exponent to review management's responses to regulators and the company's technology.
