This must've been proposed, but why don't we ticket Cruise as a single "driver"? The number of infractions they've had would certainly get their license suspended.

Reminds me a bit of the Onion clip "High Unemployment Rate Linked to One Man with 42,000 Jobs"

EDIT: or, more appropriately, the case of Prawo Jazdy: an alleged Polish national with hundreds of speeding tickets (Prawo Jazdy is Polish for driving licence)

It depends on your goal. Does aggressively ticketing new teenage drivers lead to better driving?

There is a huge potential benefit. If the cars are going to improve they need to be tested in the real world. So maybe some forbearance is justified?

Ticketing and suspension for repeat offenses is an appropriate response to a single teenage driver or single self driving system. Cruise needs to spend more time in simulation. They are at least a few years from being ready for the road.
