General Motors Co.’s Cruise unit is being suspended by the California Department of Motor Vehicles from operating driverless vehicles in the state, effective immediately.

Driverless car company Waymo began offering 24/7 robotaxi service Oct. 11 in Southern California. Autonomous vehicle enthusiasts lined up at the Waymo stand in Santa Monica as early as 8 a.m.

Robotaxi backlash is intensifying against Waymo and Cruise just as self-driving vehicles begin to gain real traction in San Francisco after years of development.

General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle unit has agreed to cut its fleet of San Francisco robotaxis in half as authorities investigate two recent crashes in the city.

San Francisco has launched an autonomous shuttle service less than a week after California regulators approved the expansion of robotaxis despite traffic and safety concerns.

A Cruise robotaxi collided with a firetruck late Aug. 17 in San Francisco, injuring the vehicle’s passenger.

San Francisco asked California regulators Aug. 16 to halt its approval of Cruise’s and Waymo’s unrestricted commercial expansion in the city, arguing the city “will suffer serious harm.” 

Starting later this month, an electric, self-driving shuttle operated by Beep Inc. will whisk passengers around a 1-mile loop in downtown Orlando for no charge, officials said Aug. 16.
