Cruise is temporarily halting all "supervised and manual [autonomous vehicle] (AV) operations" in the US, including rides and journeys with or without a human at the wheel.
Last month, the self-driving taxi biz made headlines when one of its driverless cars struck a woman and trapped her under the vehicle just seconds after she had been knocked down by a human hit-and-run driver in San Francisco.
"This orderly pause is a further step to rebuild public trust while we undergo a full safety review. We will continue to operate our vehicles in closed course training environments and maintain an active simulation program in order to stay focused on advancing AV technology," it said in an update on Tuesday.
