On August 9th, Beijing time, news came out about General Motors' strategic move in the autonomous vehicle industry. Last year, GM acquired Cruise Automation, significantly boosting its capabilities in self-driving technology. Cruise had previously developed tools to convert Audi S4 or A4 models into fully autonomous vehicles. With this advanced technology, GM is now preparing to partner with Lyft to deploy over 300 driverless cars on the roads. Additionally, GM has made a significant investment in Lyft, signaling a strong commitment to the future of mobility.
Currently, GM is testing a new app called "Cruise Anywhere," which allows San Francisco employees to use a Chevrolet Bolt EV for travel across the city. This service has become a primary mode of transportation for some staff members. The app is designed to offer a seamless and safe experience, with the goal of making autonomous driving more accessible and mainstream.
Kyle Vogt, CEO and co-founder of Cruise, stated: “We've always been focused on being the first to launch a ride-sharing app that uses driverless technology. This new service aligns perfectly with our mission and shows how serious we are about advancing this technology. We're making real progress, and it's exciting to see how fast we're moving forward. By putting the app in people’s hands and letting them experience it firsthand, we're helping make driverless cars a daily reality. This is exactly what we're working toward.â€
The Cruise Anywhere service is available to GM employees almost 24/7, depending on their needs. Although California law still requires a "safety driver" in the front seat, reports suggest that actual intervention from the driver is rare. While the service is currently limited to GM employees, it's expected to expand to the general public soon, as the company continues to refine and scale its autonomous technology.
This development marks an important step in the evolution of autonomous transportation. As GM and Cruise continue to push the boundaries, the future of driverless taxis looks closer than ever.
