Signs

Precedent: California suspended Cruise’s robotaxi permits in October 2023 after a pedestrian was dragged, and Cruise paused driverless operations in every city. Prompt injection may never be fully solved, so serious agent incidents are a question of when.

What would soften it

Audit trails, rollback and insurance that let regulators act against one operator rather than a whole category.
