Car-less Future
GM Investing in Ride Sharing
GM's Cruise Origin
Cars are expensive to buy, insure, park, fuel and maintain. They pour tremendous amounts of pollution into the air, globally on a daily basis. Personal vehicles have low utilization rates. For all of those reasons and more, GM is moving to capitalize on a significant, alternative driving trend for the near future: ride sharing.
California Cruising
GM's self driving subsidiary Cruise just unveiled its new vehicle Origin in San Francisco. Origin is a new, ride sharing shuttle that can carry up to six passengers. It's all-electric, totally autonomous and specifically designed for ride sharing. For GM, this is a mass production vehicle as they believe the market potential for it is big. The vehicle has no steering wheel and no pedals. The vehicle is a new and additional business model for GM. The company has petitioned US transportation officials for approval to deploy it on US roads.
