Does cutting their fleet mean they stopped operating or they reduced the size of their fleet?

One of the crashes was a car running a red light and hitting the Cruise vehicle.

It means these vehicles are still crashing even when geofenced to operate in 'perfect' conditions with premapped destinations. This is not a fully functional system as they can't operate outside these city grids at low speeds in favorable weather conditions with a premapped route. Compare miles driven between Cruise and Teslas systems. One has several orders of magnitude more miles driven than the other and they're somehow doing it without all this extra hardware.
