General Motors shifts to passenger-vehicle autonomous driving, paving the way for taxi services

▤ Summary

General Motors says it will shut down its robotaxi subsidiary while staying active in autonomous driving. The company is shifting its focus to passenger-vehicle L2+ to L3 automated driving, starting with highways and then expanding to main roads and city centers. GM says this path is meant to meet real customer needs and create a bridge to future commercial robotaxi services. The company also argues that once the system works reliably across enough areas, passenger-car and taxi use cases will converge.
