GM's Cruise Eyes Year-End Return for Driverless Vehicles Amid Losses

General Motors is working to resume its autonomous vehicle operations despite financial setbacks and regulatory challenges.

Cruise, GM's autonomous vehicle unit, has resumed limited driverless testing in Houston with safety drivers still present in passenger seats.
The company halted operations last year following a serious accident in San Francisco, which led to increased regulatory scrutiny.
GM reported a $435 million loss for Cruise in Q3 2024, an improvement from the $791 million loss in the same period the previous year.
CEO Mary Barra emphasized the company's commitment to autonomous vehicles, focusing on improving technology and cost efficiency.
GM plans to explore partnerships to support Cruise's funding model, aiming to manage investments more effectively.
