Cruise robotaxi in SF
Cruise vehicles apparently had trouble correctly identifying children.
  • Cruise's driverless cars have reportedly had issues detecting children and large holes on roads.
  • Cruise knew about the safety concerns but kept its fleet in operation, The Intercept reported.
  • California revoked Cruise's robotaxi permits, and its service in the US has since been suspended.

Before Cruise had its permits revoked in California, the company apparently knew that its driverless cars had trouble correctly identifying children and detecting large holes in the road, according to internal documents reviewed by The Intercept.
