General Motors has decided to significantly scale back its Cruise robotaxi program, which was once valued at $30 billion, following a series of operational setbacks and safety concerns. The company is cutting jobs, reducing spending, and halting the expansion of its driverless taxi service outside of its current testing grounds in San Francisco, Austin, and Phoenix. This decision comes after Cruise faced regulatory scrutiny and public backlash, particularly after an incident where one of its autonomous vehicles was involved in an accident with a pedestrian. The program's future now hinges on regaining public trust and proving the safety and reliability of its technology, with plans to relaunch in one city initially before considering broader expansion.
