Cruise's board has hired law firm Quinn Emanuel to review Cruise management's responses to regulators investigating the Oct. 2 accident, and technology consultancy Exponent to review Cruise's technology.
Our commitment to Cruise with the goal of commercialization remains steadfast.”Federal and state safety regulators are investigating a series of accidents involving driverless Cruise vehicles.
California regulators suspended the company's license to operate driverless vehicles last month, saying the self-driving vehicles were a risk to the public.
Federal regulators last month told Cruise they are investigating incidents in which Cruise driverless cars appeared to fail to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
Cruise said last week it would pause all driverless operations "while we take time to examine our processes, systems, and tools."
