California regulators are alleging a San Francisco robotaxi service owned by General Motors covered up the severity of an accident involving one of its driverless cars, raising the spectre they may add a fine to the recent suspension of its California license.

The potential penalty facing GM’s Cruise service could be around US$1.5mil (RM7mil), based on documents filed late last week by the California Public Utilities Commission.
