California regulators are considering a reevaluation of Cruise's robotaxi permit after a driverless car accident raised concerns about the risks of AI. The incident led to the revocation of Cruise's operating permit across California, prompting layoffs at the company. Additionally, BMW and Waymo are making advancements in autonomous driving technology, with BMW planning to launch near-autonomous driving next spring and Waymo emphasizing the importance of safety in autonomous driving systems. The sector is facing significant challenges following the accident, with a former Tesla employee leaking data about the company's Autopilot software, highlighting the differences in autonomous driving systems' safety. The incident also triggered a ban on Cruise's entire fleet, leading to a recall and raising doubts about the safety of driverless cars.
