WASHINGTON/DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors' Cruise driverless car unit said on Tuesday it will pause all supervised and manual car trips in the U.S. and expand the scope of investigations at the robotaxi operator in the aftermath of an accident that initially led to the suspension of driverless vehicle operations.
"This orderly pause is a further step to rebuild public trust while we undergo a full safety review," Cruise said in a blog post. "We will continue to operate our vehicles in closed course training environments and maintain an active simulation program in order to stay focused on advancing AV technology."
