A driverless vehicle company is returning to Dallas after pausing operations in Texas last year.The company paused operations in October 2023 after California yanked its license over safety concerns. The state didn’t point to specific examples, but Cruise said it’s because of a situation when a hit-and-run driver knocked a woman into the path of a Cruise car.Cruise said when their car went to pull over, it ended up pulling the victim.
Driverless trips previously took place in cities like San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin and Houston. In Austin, there were reports of issues, like cars stopping and blocking intersections.Right now, Cruise employees are driving the vehicles in Dallas and Phoenix to help create maps and gather road information.
