Barra stated at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 that, despite canceling the Origin project, she believes a steering wheel-less autonomous vehicle is still in GM's future.
Reflecting on her years of work towards regulatory change, Barra expressed frustration, stating: 'How much harder can we go when we don't have the legislative change?' showing the complexities faced in innovation.
Despite GM's challenges, Barra remains optimistic about personal autonomous vehicles, saying, 'We're going to see how it unfolds and how consumers leverage the technology,' emphasizing a future with consumer autonomy.
Barra admitted that the progression of autonomous vehicle technology has been slower than expected, acknowledging that 'we all thought in that 2016, 2017 time frame it was going to go much more quickly.'
