General Motors' Cruise subsidiary is restarting its manually driven vehicle program to create maps and gather road information in select cities as the company moves to resume driverless operations six months after a gruesome collision in San Francisco.

General Motors' Cruise subsidiary is restarting its manually driven vehicle program to create maps and gather road information in select cities as the company moves to resume driverless operations six months after a gruesome collision in San Francisco.Cruise said Tuesday that the resumption of human-driven vehicles to create maps and gather road information will begin in Phoenix, where it has a large number of workers.

The incident resulted in Cruise's license to operate its driverless fleet in California being suspended by regulators and triggered a purge of its leadership — in addition to layoffs that jettisoned about a quarter of its workforce — as GM curtailed its once-lofty ambitions in self-driving technology. Cruise additionally omitted key details about what happened in the Oct. 2 incident, which led to allegations of a coverup that could have resulted in a fine of $1.5 million.
