Cruise Robotaxis Back to the road … well, class on. Even total motors The plug was pulled In previous year’s driving tax business, automatically quietly changed some of the vehicles while trying to develop the driver’s help technologies.
This week, a GM Bolt Electric Hatchback in San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, and later saw a similar car in the Interstate 880 near Oakland. Every time, the car was driven by someone. But it is made roofing equipment Like Lidar sensors resembled to setup from cruise-ride riding system. The vehicle has a “mint” written in the hood, but does not include any visual view of a visual cruise branding.
GM spokesman Chaiti Sen confirms that the company actually “used a limited cruise vehicles in Michigan with trained drops he added,” This is the internal passenger. “
GM Took Orange-and-White Cruise Logo from the car sides after it is removed Full ownership In the unit in February, he said. The recent activity began in Michigan and Texas in February and the San Francisco Bay Area-Region in the middle of April, said Sen. The cruise called each car in its fleet, and the Sen confirmed that “mint” is one of the cars who are newly active in the Bay Area.
Shown in the test for the first time how GM started to give a second life in a fleet with no hundred vehicles left from an expensive project.
The GM initially acquired a majority stake on San Francisco-based cruise in 2016, and invested more than $ 8 billion in Robotaxi service development. Operation from a rapid start and steer of a rapid progress until October 2023, when a cruise vehicle struck a pedestrian in San Francisco to hit a person’s driven vehicle.
After incident, cruise misleading state regulators,, Missing a Key Permit,, stopped operationand placed in a quarter of its workers.
After some business restart attemptsGM announced in the last December that the experiment couldcel. At the time, GM CEO told Mary Barra the analysts running a Robotaxi fleet is a costly disturbance from business to make cars.
But the technology behind the cruise helps to improve around 7-year-old Super cruise system found in some GM cars. It aims to help drivers stay and change tracks, or apply emergency brakes without having to use their hands.
Many automakers change to develop offload vehicles an increasing amount of Driving tasks to computers. GM claimed about 60 percent of 360,000 Super Cruise customers often used apt.
In the US, the Robotaxi industry is dominated by WaymoAlthough Tesla by Elon Musk and Zamx on Amazon one of those who continue to try to catch.
GM’s repurposed bolts mixes the roads in the San Francisco-area, where cars with heavy duty computer gear attached to roof, back, and sides have been regular. They include not only firms who seek sensors and algorithms, but also providers of collecting data and hobbyists who seek to upgrade their personal riding.
