(Reuters) – General Motors’ autonomous driving startup, Cruise, said on Tuesday it will reintroduce a small fleet of human-driven vehicles in some cities, starting with Phoenix in Arizona.
The company had suspended its U.S. operations last October after an incident in San Francisco in which one of its robotaxis dragged a pedestrian struck by another car.
“Cruise is resuming manual driving to create maps and gather road information in select cities, starting in Phoenix. This work is done using human-driven vehicles without autonomous systems engaged,” the company said in a blog post.
