The Department of Motor Vehicles indefinitely suspended Cruise from operating in California on Oct. 24, alleging that the company didn’t immediately disclose that the robotaxi tried to pull over after striking the pedestrian. Cruise fired nine executives, and its CEO resigned. The company paused its driverless operations across the U.S. Cruise lost $3.48 billion in operating costs in 2023 and laid off 24% of its staff. Multiple federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, are investigating the company.
