"The news came by Slack message. Cruise CEO Marc Whitten, who took the top post in June, posted a message Tuesday afternoon in the company's announcements channel along with a link to a press release entitled 'GM to refocus autonomous driving development on personal vehicles.' This restructuring reflects a significant pivot in GM's strategy concerning its self-driving initiatives, which has raised concerns among Cruise employees about their job security."
"Minutes later, during an all-hands meeting, Cruise employees learned a few more details. The self-driving car company would be absorbed into parent company GM and combined with the automaker’s own efforts to develop driver assistance features - and eventually fully autonomous personal vehicles. However, the executives provided no details about potential layoffs, leaving many employee uncertainties in play."
