GeneralMotors-owned Cruise is taking its autonomouscars to Texas and Arizona before the end of this year to test a robot taxi service.
The General Motors-owned company plans to launch ridesharing pilots in Austin and Phoenix in what will be its first expansion of the service outside of San Francisco.
“Some fun news,” Vogt tweeted. “Cruise is bringing driverless rides to Austin and Phoenix later this year. Our team is going from zero footprint in Austin to driverless rides in ~90 days. We’ve been prepping for scaling the last couple years, glad to see that work paying off.” He added that Cruise recently received the necessary permits to launch commercial ridesharing and delivery services in Phoenix, and with the city’s roads already mapped, operations are set to begin there soon using a fleet of its modified Chevy Bolt electric vehicles.
Self-driving Cruise cars operating in Phoenix could find themselves trundling along beside vehicles belonging to rival autonomous-car developer Waymo, which has been operating a ridesharing service in parts of the city for several years.
