Cruise, the driverless car company under GM, has announced its return to testing its services after being ordered to halt all operations since October 2023 due to a serious accident involving a car colliding with and dragging a pedestrian 20 feet, resulting in consecutive repercussions such as the CEO resigning and mass layoffs.
Cruise stated that the company still maintains its original goal of reintroducing driverless car services. However, the company must regain trust by conducting tests in certain cities with human controllers following pre-determined maps and route information generated by the system. This step is essential before advancing towards driverless cars once again, with Phoenix, Arizona being the initial test location.
During the suspension of driverless car services, Cruise has stated that the company has conducted tests in complex situations and upgraded its system, with high-resolution maps and route information, to provide even safer services. These steps must be gradually carried out and tested in each city due to varying environmental conditions.
TLDR: Cruise, a driverless car company, is returning to testing its services after a suspension, aiming to regain trust and ensure safety through gradual testing in different cities.
