General Motors (GM) is exploring various options to maximize the value of its autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Cruise. In a recent statement, GM CEO Mary Barra revealed the company's intentions to determine the best path forward for Cruise.
Cruise, a San Francisco-based self-driving car startup, became a part of GM in 2016 when the automaker acquired it for approximately $1 billion. Since then, GM has been investing heavily in Cruise, with the aim of commercializing self-driving technology and capturing a significant share of the emerging autonomous vehicle market.
