The California DMV requested that Cruise cut in half its fleet of driverless cars in San Francisco, following “concerning incidents.”

about the fire engine incident, Cruise General Manager Greg Dieterich said that there were “several factors that added complexity to this specific incident.” According to Dieterich, the engine was “in the oncoming lane of traffic, which it had moved into to bypass the red light.”Additionally, Mission Local has obtained video of an early morning Aug. 16 incident when multiple Cruise vehicles blockaded a Recology garbage truck on Hayes Street, refusing to yield and allow the driver to back up.

The DMV is investigating recent concerning incidents involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco. The DMV is in contact with Cruise and law enforcement officials to determine the facts and requested Cruise to immediately reduce its active fleet of operating vehicles by 50% until the investigation is complete and Cruise takes appropriate corrective actions to improve road safety.

The DMV reserves the right, following investigation of the facts, to suspend or revoke testing and/or deployment permits if there is determined to be an unreasonable risk to public safety.
