Cruise, a self-driving car company owned by General Motors, had its operations in California suspended due to safety concerns. Kyle Vogt later resigned as CEO, along with co-founder and chief product officer Daniel Kan. Reports also say the company is dialing back on its expansion plans amid the controversy, which would’ve put Cruise cars in 13 US cities.
Despite the concerns for self-driving cars, Waymo is looking to expand its driverless service in Los Angeles, with the state of Texas next on the list. The company is now testing rides and provides mobility services via invite only.
