Overview

• Bloomberg reports GM is renewing its efforts to develop fully autonomous vehicles for consumer use after shuttering its Cruise robotaxi program in February.
• The automaker plans to recruit and rehire former Cruise engineers to rebuild its autonomy team under chief product officer Sterling Anderson.
• A GM spokeswoman said the company is accelerating the development of technology capable of operating without active human oversight.
• GM’s revival of autonomy efforts leverages its March partnership with Nvidia to expand high-performance computing for advanced driver-assistance systems.
• This shift focuses on privately owned models instead of ride-hailing services, reversing the strategy that led to Cruise’s wind-down.
