Kyle Vogt Steps Down as CEO of Cruise Robotaxi Unit
Kyle Vogt has resigned as CEO of Cruise, General Motors' robotaxi subsidiary, following a serious road incident that led to the suspension of Cruise's operations in California and other US locations. Mo Elshenawy will take over as President and CTO, while Craig Glidden will serve as President. Cruise has faced a series of safety incidents, including traffic blockages and crashes, raising concerns about the company's rapid expansion. The recent incident involved a pedestrian being dragged by a Cruise vehicle, which was not initially disclosed to the California DMV. The incident has highlighted the need for transparency and accountability in the development of autonomous vehicles.
