General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle unit has agreed to cut its fleet of San Francisco robotaxis in half as authorities investigate two recent crashes in the city.

The state Department of Motor Vehicles asked for the reduction after a Cruise vehicle without a human driver collided with an unspecified emergency vehicle on Thursday.

    These crashes are all by the same “driver”. If one person crashed two cars in a day, don’t you think they should stop driving for a bit?

        No it’s not. If that one person crashed twice after 500 trips and everyone else is crashing once after 200 trips, I’m still taking the person whose average crashes is more than two times less often.

      Not if they did significantly more trips than the chances of a normal person crashing twice.

        You know how many trips these cars drive per day? Please enlighten us. If you don’t have any sources, stop making things up with no evidence.

          I mean, that argument could work both ways right?
