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.

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.

The company said Thursday that it will put "several" vehicles driven by humans in the two cities that will initially perform mapping.

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.
