Cruise recently released its safety report to give the public insights on what the company does to ensure its autonomous vehicles are safe.

Cruise began offering daytime robotaxi rides to employees in San Francisco. The daytime operating hours could soon be open to the public.

Autonomous vehicles have major challenges. But declaring the technology dead after Argo AI’s shutdown is foolish.

Cruise has developed four chips for autonomous vehicles in house so far, according to Carl Jenkins, the company’s head of hardware.

The approval from the California DMV does, however, come with major caveats.

Cruise becomes the first driverless passenger service to receive a permit to operate within California.

Cruise and Walmart announced in November 2020 a self-driving delivery pilot in Scottsdale, Ariz. using Cruise’s all-electric Chevy Bolts.

A couple of weeks after a report said a deal was being discussed, Cruise is indeed acquiring autonomous vehicle startup Voyage. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Cruise will be sending its first self-driving test vehicles to Japan in 2021. Details about where, when and how many are unknown at this point.
