General Motors announced on Tuesday that it would cease the development of its self-driving taxi program, ending a multibillion-dollar effort and merging Cruise into its main operations.
G.M. faced significant setbacks, including an incident where a Cruise self-driving taxi hit and severely injured a pedestrian in San Francisco, which led to the suspension of its services.
While G.M. halts its taxi initiative, it plans to pivot towards developing fully autonomous personal vehicles, a goal mirrored by competitors like Waymo and Tesla.
The self-driving car market remains competitive, with companies like Waymo currently offering autonomous taxi services in multiple cities, contrasting G.M.'s recent challenges.
