General Motors Scraps Cruise Robotaxi Program

^{Published on 2024-12-11 18:01:48 - Wall Street Journal}

Carmaker cites competition, time and costs needed to scale the business.

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.
