A California regulator said Cruise omitted critical information about the safety of its vehicles regarding an October incident involving a pedestrian. Photo: John G. Mabanglo/Zuma PressGeneral Motors ’ Cruise has been ordered to testify before the California Public Utilities Commission over allegedly misleading comments it gave to regulators about an incident in October in which a pedestrian was hit. The CPUC said the self-driving car firm omitted critical information about the safety of its vehicles regarding the incident. A woman was hit by a human-driven car and thrown into the path of a driverless Cruise vehicle, which collided with the pedestrian and dragged the person about 20 feet. Cruise could face a fine of up to $1.5 million, the latest blow to the company’s operations in recent months after the company lost its driverless permits in California and CEO Kyle Vogt resigned.

Shortly after midnight on Aug. 24, a driverless shuttle operated by General Motors ’ Cruise stopped in the middle of a street in downtown Austin, Texas. Then it veered off the road, jumped the curb and hit the side of a building, according to video footage and police reports. By the time officers showed up, Cruise employees had covered the vehicle with a tarp and were trying to dislodge it—a task complicated by the lack of driver’s seat or steering wheel.

Photo: Elijah Nouvelage/ReutersGeneral Motors ’ Cruise is suspending an internal program that allows employees to cash out shares in the driverless-car company, citing the need to revalue the business after a pedestrian accident led it to halt robotaxi services last month. Cruise notified employees of the decision Thursday in an email from Chief Executive Kyle Vogt , which was viewed by The Wall Street Journal. The autonomous-driving startup, majority owned by GM, told employees that the regular quarterly offer to sell shares would be canceled as it re-evaluates the program.
