A California regulator on Monday said it has suspended a driverless testing permit for startup technology firm Pony.ai following an accident – the first time it has issued such a suspension. On Oct. 28, a Pony.ai vehicle operating in autonomous mode hit a road center divider and a traffic sign in Fremont after turning right, showed the technology firm’s accident report filed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). “There were no injuries and no other vehicles involved,” the company, backed by Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp, said in the report. Accidents during driverless testing are not uncommon.
