Ride-hailing company, Cruise, resumes tests for fleet of self-driving taxis

American self-driving car company Cruise has resumed tests for its fleet of self-driving taxi’s, though with no passengers yet, as it seeks to recommence commercial operations.

According to a statement issued by the company, human drivers would be the ones behind the wheel at first, with no passengers and no automated driving features activated.

Cruise is embarking on the tests to regain public trust after lawmakers banned the GM subsidiary from operating its vehicles in the city of California after one of its vehicles ran over a person in California in October and dragged them over 20 feet.
