Cruise, the self-driving vehicle unit of General Motors Co., plans to resume driving robotaxis in California this fall for the first time since a pedestrian accident led to its license being suspended in October.

Autonomous vehicle outfit Cruise is slowly returning to operation in California following an incident in which a pedestrian was struck and dragged by a robotaxi for approximately 20 feet in October 2023.

General Motors' self-driving unit Cruise said on Thursday it will begin supervised testing with up to five autonomous vehicles in fall this year in California's Bay Area.
