In an email to staff reviewed by Reuters, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt also said the firm would make a new tender offer to allow employees to sell shares, just two days after cancelling an earlier offer.
"As CEO, I take responsibility for the situation Cruise is in today.
Vogt also noted that the company's approach to working with regulators, press and the public "must improve."
Cancelling the program helped to cut costs for GM after it had to pause Cruise operations.
Cruise has said it showed officials of the California DMV the complete video of the accident multiple times and provided a copy to officials.
