Thanks for the report @betty200744.

Docker for Mac will not start if the kernel drivers from a Virtualbox version earlier than 4.3.30 are installed. Earlier versions of Virtualbox did not run reliably with applications that use Hypervisor.framework (such as Docker for Mac) which would result in system crashes.

If you have deleted Virtualbox manually the kernel drivers may still be installed. Please follow https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html#idm871 to completely uninstall Virtualbox.

I'm closing this issue for now, but please let us know if this doesn't solve your issue.
