HOUSTON — Cruise, the driverless car company that recently started services in Houston, is under federal investigation.
Less than a week ago, Cruise launched its rideshare services in Houston after a brief trial period.
The investigation by the United States National Highway Transportation Safety Administration is focused on a pair of crashes involving pedestrians and Cruise vehicles in San Francisco.
So far, it doesn't appear as if there have been any serious issues in Houston.
Cruise said in a statement, "Cruise's safety record of more than 5 million miles continues to outperform comparable human drivers at a time when pedestrian injuries and deaths are at an all-time high."
