Cruise has agreed to pay a $500,000 criminal fine after failing to disclose critical details about a pedestrian accident last October, indicating a significant lack of transparency.
NHTSA agent Cory Legars emphasized that the fine serves to hold the company accountable for its 'lack of candor' in responding to the serious accident where a robotaxi dragged a pedestrian.
The DOJ noted Cruise's failure to accurately report details regarding the accident, which caused multiple traumatic injuries, prompting penalties from various regulatory agencies.
Cruise's Chief Administrative Officer stated the company's commitment to transparency with regulators, yet the imposed fine and required safety compliance program reflect ongoing scrutiny over operational protocols.
