Cruise, the self-driving car company, is under scrutiny following the suspension of its autonomous vehicle operations. The company's robotaxis, which require remote human assistance every four to five miles, have been a focal point of concern. Internal documents revealed Cruise was aware of its self-driving cars' struggle to recognize children but continued operations. In response to these allegations, Cruise has defended its safety measures. The company's decision to halt production has significantly impacted the autonomous vehicle industry, influencing other startups in the sector. In the UK, a new law has been enacted, making manufacturers of self-driving cars legally responsible for accidents, a move that could further affect Cruise and similar companies.
You recall when Mercedes voluntarily agreed to take legal responsibility for their self-driving software? Britain thought "that sounds like a great idea - let's do that for everyone!" How many Teslas in the UK? Great for the owners, but for the company? Not so much. https://t.co/YWuOGi2ahT
