Congrats! Curious why Cruise got a permit to operate only between 10 PM and 6 AM? Is it a DMV decision because you applied for driverless operations or did Cruise specify operating conditions?

10PM to 6AM sounds like a great time for testing a new technology.
I'm not looking forward to the self-driving AI vs drunk driver battle.
I on the other hand am looking for the drunk person taking the robo-taxi instead of their own car situation.
Can I ask why? I know you didn't say otherwise, but I think that would be a good thing.
There's actually great synergy(sorry) between self-driving AI and would-be drunk drivers. The only downside may be the need for additional investment in cleaning services.
I was wondering if it could be my job actually to go to a bar, get intoxicated, and take a Cruise home.
Definitely. But just wanted to know if this restriction is self-imposed by Cruise to start cautious or if it’s imposed by the DMV.
Easier to dispose of the bodies maybe
I wonder if we'll ever get to the point where robo drivers will report suspiciously shaped carryon items (e.g. "CA-SF-69420 reporting in. passenger spotted carrying human shaped object wrapped in a tarp. bleep bloop."
