Detroit-based automaker General Motors (NYSE:GM) on Tuesday detailed its plans for the relaunch of its autonomous driving unit Cruise, months after it paused operations owing to the involvement of one of its robotaxis in an accident in San Francisco.
What Happened: “We’re very excited that they’re back on the roads in Phoenix,” GM CEO Mary Barrasaid during the company’s first-quarter earnings call on Tuesday. Cruise is currently actively working to build regulator and customer trust, she noted
The company has strengthened the safety of its self-driving system and intends to demonstrate that the model works in one city before expanding to the next. Cruise accrued expenses of $400 million in the first quarter as compared to the $800 million in the quarter before.
