On August 9th, Beijing time, a morning news report highlighted that last year, General Motors' acquisition of Cruise Automation significantly strengthened its position in the autonomous vehicle industry. Cruise had developed tools to convert Audi S4 or A4 models into self-driving vehicles. With this technology, GM is preparing to partner with Lyft to deploy over 300 driverless cars, and has already invested in the ride-sharing company. Let’s take a closer look at the details with our automotive electronics editor.

Currently, GM is testing a new app that allows San Francisco employees to use the Chevrolet Bolt EV for travel anywhere in the city. The service, called "Cruise Anywhere," has become one of the primary ways some employees commute. This marks a significant step forward in GM's autonomous mobility strategy.

Kyle Vogt, CEO and co-founder of Cruise, stated, “We have always emphasized that we will be the first to introduce a ride-sharing application. The new service aligns with our commitment and shows how serious we are about this technology. We’re making real progress, and we're excited about the speed of it. Putting the app in people’s hands and letting them experience driverless cars as their main mode of transport is our goal. This service proves that we're on the right path.”

The Cruise Anywhere service is available almost 24/7, depending on whether users have a car. According to California law, a “safety driver” must always be present in the driver’s seat, but reports suggest that such situations are rare. So far, the service is only open to GM employees, but it’s expected to expand to the public soon.

This update highlights the ongoing efforts by GM and Cruise to bring autonomous transportation to the masses. As they continue testing and refining the technology, the future of driverless taxis looks increasingly promising. Stay tuned for more updates from the automotive electronics sector as we keep you informed on the latest developments in self-driving technology.
