Cruise shedding half its workforce because it prepares to close down operations: report

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Autonomous robotaxi firm cruise is shedding almost half of its workers, in response to studies. Cuts prolong to the corporate’s CEO and different prime executives as the corporate prepares to wind down operations, in response to TechCrunch.

GM plans to combine Cruise’s know-how into its Tremendous Cruise assisted driving system, software program that “allows drivers to take their hands off the wheels on 750,000 miles of roads across North America.”

Beforehand, GM introduced it could cease funding Cruise and retreat from the robotaxi enterprise. Cruise had been testing its autonomous taxis in San Francisco and different U.S. cities. Nevertheless, a 2023 collision during which a jaywalking pedestrian was struck by a human driver and knocked into the trail of a Cruise — which dragged the sufferer beneath for 20 ft earlier than pulling over — raised critical questions concerning the security of Cruise autos.

The California Public Utilities Fee went on to droop Cruise’s driverless operations in California.

“Cruise shared the difficult decision to part ways with approximately 50% of its workforce. We are grateful for their passion and contributions to help us reach this stage, and our focus is on supporting them into their next chapter with severance packages and career support,” mentioned Cruise in a press release cited by TechCrunch. “While not an easy decision, we are focused on combining efforts with General Motors to accelerate autonomy at scale on personal autonomous vehicles.”

Laid off workers will stay on the Cruise payroll via April 5 and obtain advantages via the top of April, TechCrunch mentioned.
