General Motors’ robotaxi unit lays off half of its staff, including CEO and CTO
General Motors’ Cruise will lay off about 1,000 employees, including CEO Marc Whitten, as it shifts focus from robotaxi to personal self-driving vehicle development. The move follows the suspension of Cruise’s operations after a pedestrian incident, with resources redirected to GM’s Super Cruise system, aiming for $1 billion in annual savings.
