GM’s Cruise gets more oversight after robotaxi dragging incident


NHTSA said two reports Cruise provided about the incident failed to disclose post-crash details as required by the agency, in addition to ‘several incomplete reports’ the company submitted to the regulator. — AP

General Motors Co’s robotaxi company will undergo tougher oversight and pay a fine to settle claims by US auto safety regulators that it failed to properly disclose information about a crash involving one of its cars that struck and dragged a pedestrian last fall.

GM’s Cruise LLC unit must pay a US$1.5mil (RM6.24mil) civil penalty, submit regular reports about its self-driving car operations and meet quarterly with US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration officials, according to the terms of a consent order announced by the agency on Monday.
