(Reuters) -General Motors’ robotaxi unit Cruise is planning to re-launch in one city, the company said on Wednesday.
Cruise had pulled all its vehicles from U.S. testing after an Oct. 2 accident in San Francisco that involved another vehicle and ended with one of its self-driving taxis dragging a pedestrian.
“Once we have taken steps to improve our safety culture and rebuild trust, our strategy is to re-launch in one city and prove our performance there, before expanding,” the company said.
Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt resigned on Sunday, a day after apologizing to staff as the company undergoes a safety review of its U.S. fleet, followed by its co-founder and chief product officer Daniel Kan leaving the company.
Axios had first reported the news of the re-launch on Wednesday.
