The General Motors-run autonomous vehicle company Cruise asked California on Monday for approval to broaden its testing region to the whole state, as reported by ABC News.\nThe company has already been testing its self-driving cars in San Francisco, where it is headquartered, for more than two years now.\nCruise spokesperson Drew Pusateri described the move as the first in what Cruise hopes will be an ongoing relationship with the California DMV.\nThe test permit won’t let Cruise carry non-worker passengers beyond San Francisco, but it would approve employee driving of up to 55 miles per hour (88km/hr) throughout California, according to the company.\nCurrently, Cruise is facing an investigation from U.S. safety regulators over reports of its vehicles coming to unexpected stops, and even stranding some passengers.
