Cruise, a subsidiary under the umbrella of General Motors, has revealed its intention to scale down its robotaxi fleet in San Francisco by 50%.\nThis decision follows a series of incidents involving its self-driving vehicles, resulting in crashes.\nThe California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) communicated this development to CNBC.\nThis reduction marks a setback for Cruise, especially considering its recent launch of a paid robotaxi service in San Francisco.\nDuring the previous weekend, a cluster of Cruise vehicles experienced stalls, leading to traffic congestion outside an open-air music festival.
