Products: Robotaxi. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 40.5/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 97th percentile of 89 av trucking companies.
The record contains ten entries spanning December 2022 through December 2024, covering hard-braking and immobilization investigations, a pedestrian-dragging injury, multiple regulatory fines and permit suspensions, a nationwide operations halt, a software recall, a false-report admission, and the eventual wind-down of the standalone robotaxi business. The dominant pattern is regulatory: three entries are explicitly regulatory actions (NHTSA fines, DMV suspension) layered on top of injury, recall, and shutdown events, indicating sustained enforcement scrutiny following the pedestrian-dragging incident rather than a single isolated failure. Severity is concentrated at the high end, with five of ten entries coded severity 3 or 4, and the trajectory runs from an initial investigation through escalating regulatory and injury events to eventual business termination. Cruise's index of 41.1 corresponds to the 96.6th percentile within av-trucking, an elevated band reflecting both the volume and severity of the record relative to category peers. The record as a whole documents a multi-year pattern of recurring safety, disclosure, and regulatory events culminating in the shutdown of the robotaxi operation.
