California DMV Suspends Cruise's Operations due to Cover-up of Incident

Cruise's operations have been suspended by the California DMV. The DMV suspended both of their permits, leaving them only with a human safety operator. The CPUC also suspended their ability to charge and carry passengers. The reason for the suspension is a cover-up of an incident involving a pedestrian. Cruise initially showed an abbreviated video to the press, but claims to have shown the whole video to the DMV. The DMV saw the video, but there was another seven seconds of footage that showed the Cruise vehicle dragging the pedestrian. The DMV reacted strongly to the cover-up. The public response focuses on the safety issue rather than the transparency issue. The California DMV's decision only specifically affects Cruise and not all autonomous vehicles.
