GM and Honda will launch Cruise driverless ridehail vehicles in Japan by 2026. It will be Cruise’s second international market and a sign that GM is still moving at a breakneck pace to spread its autonomous vehicles to more cities.
Autonomous vehicle operator Cruise, which is backed by General Motors, will launch a robotaxi service in Japan by 2026. It’s another sign that GM does not intend to back down from its commitment to get driverless cars in more cities as rapidly as possible. Japan would be Cruise’s second international market, after Dubai. The announcement is being portrayed as a possible answer to the country’s driver shortage, which has been exacerbated by Japan’s aging population.
It’s an interesting move considering the reception that Cruise’s vehicles have generated in the cities in which it operates. San Francisco, for example, is split on the fleets of driverless cars roaming its streets. Some residents are intrigued by the technology or believe driverless vehicles can make transportation more accessible for people with disabilities. Others are worried that driverless cars will take away jobs or exacerbate traffic-congested roads.
