Cruise Comes Crawling Back, Re-Launching Driverless Cars, With Drivers, On Peninsula
Briefly

Cruise is cautiously reintroducing its autonomous taxis in the Bay Area, recovering from a series of accidents and regulatory setbacks that undermined its operations.
After the October 2, 2023 incident where a Cruise vehicle struck and injured a pedestrian, the company faced a federal investigation and lost its operating permit.

Cruise has slowly begun relaunching its operations with human oversight in Texas cities while planning to test its vehicles again in the Bay Area.
