Uber's autonomous vehicle program ended tragically in 2018 when a prototype struck and killed a pedestrian, highlighting the inherent risks in driverless technology.
Despite previous setbacks, Uber is partnering with GM's Cruise to provide autonomous vehicles, indicating strong ongoing interest in reducing costs associated with driver compensation.
Cruise faced a major setback when an autonomous taxi incident led to the CEO's ousting, raising questions about transparency and safety in autonomous vehicle operations.
The partnership will allow Uber customers to book rides using Cruise robotaxis, although further details about markets and pricing remain undisclosed.
