Part 3/5:
In a related move, Cruise, the autonomous vehicle subsidiary of General Motors, has announced it will reduce its workforce by nearly half. This decision follows GM's shift away from its robotaxi business model, indicating a strategic pivot toward enhancing its partially automatic driver assistance systems. While this downsizing is set to affect a significant portion of Cruise's employees, it is reported that those remaining on the payroll will continue to receive benefits through at least April, showing a degree of responsibility towards current staff during the transition.
