Is the appointment of Steve Kenner as Cruise’s first-ever Chief Safety Officer enough to get you back behind a Cruise wheel? Perhaps you are questioning whether safety needs a seat at the C-suite’s table at all? The incident involving one of Cruise’s #robotaxis speaks for it; with human lives on the line, the seriousness and complexity of safety concerns in such industries demands C-level consideration. In fact, safety needs to be considered across the company as a whole; it is not some optional feature that can be bolted on after the fact; safety has to be embedded into every aspect of the product development and deployment process, particularly for emerging technologies that involve intricate systems like self-driving cars. Cruise’s appointment of Steve Kenner to oversee its safety management in direct partnership with its board of directors shows people are starting to realize this. modelwise shares this vision of prioritizing safety and wants to make prioritizing safety systemically easier and more profitable. We see safety engineering as not just a necessity but a chance to expedite the creation of superior products. With us, safety is not only a C-level responsibility but can be made into a C-level opportunity. Best wishes to Kenner on his new journey - we look forward to seeing more developments in the field of safety engineering for self-driving cars! 🚗 But is it too late for Cruise? What do you think?

China is cautiously opening up the auto drive market to international brands. There is no doubt that data from China will help the industry technology move forward faster. Tesla Inc. is working to bring the advanced driver-assistance technology it calls Full Self-Driving to China, gaining permission to test in some areas of Shanghai. General Motors Co. received approval last year to trial self-driving Cadillacs in Shanghai. Meanwhile, technology companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo and Baidu Inc.’s Apollo Go are developing robotaxis as the future of mobility, testing driverless services on the streets of cities including San Francisco and Wuhan. #EV #EVCharging #Sustainability

Jul 26, 2024 / GM Authority / Trey Hawkins -- As GM Authority has closely following for quite some time now, General Motors #autonomous driving subsidiary Cruise has been struggling through setback after #setback since its October 2023 incident. With supervised rides getting back under way just a few months ago, the robotaxi company is now reportedly targeting a return to driverless rides later this year. According to a report from #Bloomberg, Cruise is hoping to relaunch its fully autonomous driving service by the end of the year, and is optimistic for a resumption of #charging #fares in early 2025. “The technology is much more advanced to be better than a role model driver,” GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra remarked in a prepared statement. “I’m very confident as we now have the vehicles operating and we’re on the path very quickly to get back to driverless with much safer technology.” It’s worth noting that Cruise has no revenue, and has lost nearly $2 billion in the first half of the year. In other Cruise-related developments, GM Authority recently reported that Barra confirmed that the deployment of the Cruise Origin robotaxi had been indefinitely paused due to regulatory uncertainty and higher per-unit costs, as well as the associated safety-related questions. Of course, The General had been attempting to get around the Origin’s lack of manual steering controls or pedals by seeking an exemption from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (#NHTSA). To date, the NHTSA has yet to grant such a request. Moving forward, Cruise will utilize the next-gen Chevy Bolt #EV to implement its AV technology. For his part, Cruise Founder and former CEO Kyle Vogt criticized General Motors over this decision, pointing to the GM EV1 as a prime example of the Detroit-based automaker failing to capitalize on its advantages. Notably, Vogt has since co-founded a new robotics company. Credit: GM Authority
