GM Infuses $850M Into Cruise as Robotaxi Service Resumes in Houston

Cruise's cautious return follows a series of incidents and regulatory setbacks, with human drivers initially behind the wheel.

  • Cruise will start with human-driven vehicles in Houston before transitioning to supervised autonomous driving.
  • The company halted operations last year after a pedestrian was dragged by a Cruise vehicle in San Francisco.
  • California regulators suspended Cruise's permits, prompting a nationwide shutdown of its services.
  • GM's additional funding aims to cover operational costs and support a strategic review of Cruise's future.
  • Cruise is also conducting supervised driving tests in Phoenix and Dallas.
