The move comes just months after Cruise announced it would restart testing operations in Houston after a staffing shakeup followed the launch of several federal safety investigations into the vehicles.

General Motors (GM) has reportedly decided to abandon its autonomous vehicle project, Cruise, just months after relaunching its robotaxi service in Houston. This decision comes after a series of setbacks, including a significant accident involving a Cruise vehicle in San Francisco, which led to the suspension of its operations and a recall of all 950 of its vehicles. The incident involved a pedestrian being struck by another vehicle and then dragged by a Cruise robotaxi, prompting intense scrutiny from regulators and the public. Despite efforts to relaunch in Houston with a focus on safety and transparency, GM's move to scrap the project reflects the immense challenges and high costs associated with developing and deploying autonomous driving technology. The decision also underscores the broader industry's struggle to achieve full autonomy amidst regulatory hurdles, technological limitations, and public safety concerns.
