The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced Friday that the state auto regulator has opened an investigation into “recent concerning incidents” surrounding General Motors’ (NYSE: ) Cruise autonomous vehicle unit. The DMV has also asked that GM remove half of their robotaxis from service while the investigation is underway.
The statement from the California DMV follows an incident involving a Cruise robotaxi and an emergency vehicle in San Francisco late on Thursday, the latest accident involving the self-driving cars.
