The decision will make Cruise, a company controlled by automaker General Motors, the first fully driverless ride-hailing service in California.
A Cruise AV, General Motor's autonomous electric Bolt EV is displayed in Detroit on Jan. 16, 2019. California regulators on Thursday gave Cruise's robotic taxi service the green light to begin charging passengers for driverless rides in San Francisco.
The ride-hailing service initially will consist of just 30 electric vehicles confined to transporting passengers in less congested parts of San Francisco from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Those restrictions are designed to minimize chances of the robotic taxis causing property damage, injuries or death if something goes awry. It will also allow regulators to assess how the technology works before permitting the service to expand.
but navigating the density and difficulty of more congested cities such as San Francisco has posed more daunting challenges for robotic taxis to overcome.That's one of the reasons Cruise's newly approved driverless service in San Francisco is being so tightly controlled. Besides being restricted to places and times where there is less traffic and fewer pedestrians on the streets, Cruise's driverless service won't be allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog either.
