"This orderly pause is a further step to rebuild public trust while we undergo a full safety review," Cruise wrote in a blog post. Last week, Cruise announced it would recall 950 robotaxis after a pedestrian collision. In October, the California Department of Motor Vehicles suspended Cruise's deployment and testing permits for its autonomous vehicles, effective immediately. "When there is an unreasonable risk to public safety, the DMV can immediately suspend or revoke permits," the California DMV said in a statement at the time. Last Thursday, Cruise announced a round of contractor layoffs.

Cruise announced a round of layoffs Thursday affecting contract workers who worked on its driverless ridehailing service, CNBC has learned. This week, Cruise announced it would recall 950 robotaxis after a pedestrian collision. In GM's third-quarter earnings update, the company said it had lost roughly $1.9 billion on Cruise through September of this year. The DMV suspension came a week after federal auto safety regulators announced they were investigating Cruise following pedestrian injuries. The probe, spearheaded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, was prompted by multiple reports involving pedestrian injuries and Cruise vehicles in recent months, and it concerns an estimated 594 self-driving Cruise vehicles, according to the filing.
