The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated Cruise to pay a $1.5 million fine for failing to report details of a serious post-crash incident involving one of its self-driving cars.
NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman emphasized that it is critical for companies developing automated driving systems to prioritize safety and transparency, highlighting the agency's commitment to enforcing compliance.
Cruise's Chief Safety Officer Steve Kenner indicated that the fine and corrective action plan represent a commitment to improved processes and culture within the company.
The incident, which involved a woman being dragged by a Cruise robotaxi, resulted in serious injuries and prompted regulatory scrutiny, including the suspension of Cruise's testing permit in California.
