Driverless car company Cruise has been hit with a penalty for withholding information involving a pedestrian crash.
The crash was reported on Oct. 2 in San Francisco when Cruise’s driverless cars dragged a woman 20 feet after failing to recognize she was trapped underneath the vehicle.
The California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday ruled Cruise will have to pay the maximum penalty: $112,500, which is $7,500 for each of the 15 days the company withheld complete information about the incident.
CPUC also said Cruise's permit to shuttle passengers will remain suspended and did not give a date when it would be reinstated.
