  • Cruise suspended a self-driving taxi service in San Francisco last year after one of its cars hit and dragged a pedestrian, causing severe injuries. In July, G.M. said Cruise would restart testing of self-driving cars with humans behind the wheel.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 10, 2024, discusses General Motors' (GM) autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Cruise, and its efforts to recover from a series of setbacks. After a high-profile incident involving one of its robotaxis, Cruise faced regulatory scrutiny, leading to a suspension of its operations and a significant reduction in its valuation. The piece details how Cruise is now attempting to rebuild trust with regulators, the public, and its investors by implementing stricter safety protocols, engaging in more transparent communication, and focusing on a phased reintroduction of its services. Additionally, GM has announced plans to invest further in Cruise, aiming to enhance its technology and safety systems, while also exploring new markets and partnerships to diversify its autonomous driving offerings. The article highlights the broader implications for the autonomous vehicle industry, noting that Cruise's challenges reflect the complex regulatory and technological hurdles that all companies in this space must navigate.
