U. S.  , car health officials ended a national investigation into Cruise robotaxis without taking action, removing an arch days after , General Motors Co.  , decided to screen the struggling company.
The , National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , had opened a preliminary analysis in soon 2023 to identify potential safety hazards from Cruise’s autonomous vehicles. Following a collision in October of that year when a car struck and dragged a commuter, causing severe accidents, the business received a lot of attention.
NHTSA cited Cruise’s determination to recalled its travelling system software as the conclusion of the investigation, noting that the business has since stopped operating on public streets. In a statement made available on Wednesday, the organization stated that it “reserves the right to get further action if warranted by fresh circumstances.”
GM , didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
The news comes about a quarter after , GM , said it would shut down the robotaxi functions, citing large development costs. The automaker announced that it would combine Cruise and do autonomous technology for upcoming models.
