WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -A California regulatory judge on Tuesday grilled officials at General Motors' Cruise unit and law firm Quinn Emanuel over Cruise's delay in disclosing the details of a pedestrian crash involving one of its self-driving cars.

The comments were made at a hearing for Cruise's motion to resolve the investigation by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) into the accident involving its robotaxi.
