This is the best summary I could come up with:

The California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise’s robotaxi permit “effective immediately.” The General Motors-backed company had been involved in several safety incidents recently, most recently a hit-and-run by another driver that resulted in a pedestrian trapped under one of Cruise’s driverless vehicles.

Among the reasons cited for the suspension: Cruise’s vehicles “are not safe for public operation”; the company allegedly “misrepresented” the safety of its vehicles; Cruise’s vehicles could pose “an unreasonable risk to the public”; and permits can be revoked “if a manufacturer is engaging in a practice in such a manner that immediate suspension is required for the safety of persons on a public road.”

But its robotaxi permit that allowed it to pick up and drop off passengers in driverless vehicles has been suspended.

In August, a Cruise robotaxi collided with a fire truck, injuring one passenger.

In response, the company reduced the number of vehicles it had deployed by half while the city investigated the incident.

And earlier this month, a hit-and-run launched a pedestrian in front of a driverless Cruise vehicle, trapping her underneath for some time.
