"GM's Cruise Resumes Phoenix Operations with Human-Driven Fleet"
TL;DR
General Motors' Cruise is reintroducing human-driven robotaxis in Phoenix to gather road information and create maps, marking a shift away from its previous aggressive growth strategy. This move follows a pause in operations after a pedestrian incident in San Francisco. Cruise is focusing on reforming incident response and crisis management protocols, as well as improving engagement with first responders. The company has not announced when it will resume driverless operations, and its main competitor, Alphabet's Waymo, continues to operate a paid, driverless robotaxi service in the Phoenix area.
