37°46′12″N 122°24′35″W / 37.7699°N 122.4098°W Cruise LLC was an American self-driving car company that became a subsidiary of General Motors, headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2013 by Kyle Vogt and Dan Kan,[4][5][6] Cruise tested and developed autonomous car technology. The company was acquired by General Motors in 2016, and operated as a largely autonomous subsidiary,[7] focussing on producing a fleet of driverless taxis.[8] Following a series of incidents, it suspended operations in October 2023, and Kyle Vogt resigned as CEO in November 2023.[9] The company began returning its vehicles to public roads in May 2024.[10]
In December 2024, GM stopped funding Cruise. Work on autonomous vehicles was to be incorporated into development of advanced driver assistance systems for personal vehicles, no longer funding autonomous taxis.[8]
