"GM Halts 2024 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon Sales Over Software Problems"

General Motors issues a stop-sale order on all 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize trucks due to software problems, marking the second stop-sale order in three months following a similar issue with the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVs. The company has a large number of its 2024 midsize pickups parked near the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri due to software glitches, and while some vehicles have already been shipped to dealers, sales are being paused as software updates are worked on. CEO Mary Barra expressed regrets about not bringing in GM's new software team sooner and outlined plans to revamp the software development and validation process to exceed customer expectations.

The delay has increased the cost of the mission, which is now projected to cost nearly $1.13 billion. The review also found that the standing review board process needs to be strengthened to catch issues earlier. Lessons from Psyche are being applied to other missions at JPL.
