California suspends GM Cruise self-driving cars on the road because it is "not safe enough"

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the clues of the suffering march! CTOnews.com, Oct. 25 (Xinhua)-- California auto regulators announced on Tuesday that GM Cruise self-driving cars have been suspended and on the road because they are "not safe enough", which will take effect immediately today.

The California Motor vehicle Administration (DMV) said in a statement that Cruise's self-driving cars posed an "unreasonable risk" to public safety and "failed to meet the standards for road operation."

The suspension of GM's Cruise self-driving car license by DMV follows a number of accidents.

CTOnews.com reported in August that ten Cruise Robotaxi suddenly stalled on the road, causing a traffic jam.

A few days later, a Cruise Robotaxi rushed into the road construction area and got stuck in wet concrete, while a Cruise Robotaxi crashed into a fire engine at an intersection, causing passengers to be taken to hospital.

Affected by a number of accidents, the California Motor vehicle Administration (DMV) recently announced a formal investigation into Cruise, and said that according to the results of the investigation, Cruise Robotaxi's self-driving taxi deployment license may be revoked.

However, in response to such accidents, Cruise blamed the ongoing Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco for the problem.
