Cruise autonomous driving service restarts: Releases security strategy to rebuild trust

According to news on November 23, Cruise, the self-driving unit of General Motors, plans to relaunch its driverless taxi service in unspecified cities and subsequently expand to other cities.

Cruise had an accident on October 2 when a self-driving taxi dragged a pedestrian, causing California to ban the company's self-driving vehicles from driving on the highway

To improve its safety record and rebuild trust, Cruise has announced a new strategic plan in which they plan to relaunch services in one city and then expand after proving their performance in that city. It is understood that this strategic change will result in a reduction in Cruise's headcount, mainly in non-engineering positions. More details will be provided in mid-December.

Cruise said it will focus on Bolt-based Cruise in the short term AVs, while its long-term strategy will focus on Origin, a vehicle without a steering wheel or other operations by a human driver.

The story about this incident is as follows:

In August this year, ten of Cruise’s self-driving taxis suddenly stalled on the road at the same time, causing traffic jams. A few days later, a self-driving taxi drove into an area where road construction was underway and became trapped in the wet concrete; another self-driving taxi collided with a fire truck at an intersection, resulting in passengers being injured and sent to the hospital

The California Automobile Regulatory Authority announced on October 25 that Cruise’s self-driving cars pose an “unreasonable risk” to public safety and “cannot meet the standards for on-road operation.”

Cruise has suspended all self-driving car operations in the public domain and begun recalling 950 vehicles

In addition, Cruise is facing multiple federal investigations related to vehicle safety, including Two cases of driverless cars failing to yield to pedestrians. On November 20, Cruise co-founder and CEO Kyle Vogt announced his resignation.
