    Cruise Founder& CEO Kyle Vogt speaks onstage during TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 at Moscone Center on Sept. 20, 2023, in San Francisco.

    On Oct. 2, a Cruise driverless robotaxi hit a woman in downtown San Francisco and pinned her under the car, sending her to the hospital with serious injuries.

    On Tuesday, state authorities suspended Cruise's operating permit, banning it from deploying driverless cars on public roads until safety concerns are resolved. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating whether to take action too.
