Cruise plans to roll out a suite of technological upgrades intended to make its driverless cars more adept at responding during emergencies, the company said Oct. 12.

The pivot from self-driving cars to self-driving trucks is the latest sign of how difficult it is to fully take our hands off the wheel, industry experts and researchers say.

Cruise in October will begin testing what it says is “the world’s first purpose-built, wheelchair accessible, self-driving vehicle.”

The California Senate passed a bill Sept. 11 mandating human drivers behind the wheel of autonomous trucks on state highways for at least the next five years. Will the governor sign it?

If California's Assembly Bill 316 becomes law, driverless trucks won’t be able to drive down state highways without a human driver present until at least 2031.

Cruise, the taxi company that uses self-driving cars, is preparing to come to Raleigh and may be interested in Durham, N.C., as well.

San Francisco asked California regulators Aug. 16 to halt its approval of Cruise’s and Waymo’s unrestricted commercial expansion in the city, arguing the city “will suffer serious harm.” 

Self-driving truck developer TuSimple Holdings says it won’t be able to file its second-quarter 2023 financial report on time to meet a deadline imposed by the Nasdaq Stock Market.

San Francisco-based Cruise has begun testing its self-driving vehicles in Atlanta.
