GENERAL MOTORS HAS PULLED THE PLUG ON IT’S FLEET OF DRIVERLESS TAXI’S IN SAN FRANCISCO. In a blog post, Cruise CEO, THE AUTONOMOUS DIVISION OF THE COMPANY and GM veteran Dan Ammann wrote that the company would need to increase its testing and validation miles to reach “the level of performance and safety validation required to deploy a fully driverless service.” THIS MEANS GM WILL NOT START TAXI SERVICE THIS YEAR. AMMANN DID NOT SET A NEW TIMELINE. THE WORD COMES AS INDUSTRY LEADERS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY CAUTIOUS WITH THE SPEED AND TIME FRAME THAT AUTONOMOUS CARS WILL HIT THE ROAD.
