GM’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Cruise, is slashing 900 jobs following a devastating crash and allegations of a cover-up.
The company’s once-promising foray into the world of robotaxis has hit a major roadblock, leaving employees and investors in dismay.
The decision to eliminate nearly a quarter of its workforce comes after a high-profile incident involving one of Cruise’s self-driving cars.
The crash, which resulted in significant damage and raised serious safety concerns, sent shockwaves through the autonomous vehicle industry.
However, what’s even more troubling are the allegations of a cover-up, which have only deepened the crisis.
Questions loom large over Cruise’s future as it grapples with these challenges. Can the company regain its footing and maintain its position in the competitive autonomous vehicle market, or is this a fatal blow to its ambitions?
