Cruise self-driving taxis can now operate around the clock in San Francisco (www.engadget.com)

Cruise was the first to start charging for selfdriving rides in San Francisco.

Staff have already been riding during the daytime for months.

There’s no timeline for wider deployments elsewhere, but Vogt promises that operations will “soon” grow in other cities.
