Cruise, the Self-Driving Car Subsidiary of G.M., Names a New C.E.O.

Cruise, the driverless car subsidiary of a major automaker, has announced the appointment of a new CEO. The new CEO, previously an executive in the video game industry, will take over in July. This comes after the previous CEO resigned due to safety issues with Cruise’s vehicles. The company had faced regulatory orders to halt its operations following a series of traffic mishaps, including one involving a pedestrian in San Francisco. Cruise has since downsized its workforce and replaced several executives. The new CEO expressed excitement about being part of the company’s transformation and praised Cruise’s technology.
