Earlier this month, our President and CTO Mohamed (Mo) Elshenawy participated in a fireside chat at the AI Infra Summit, highlighting the vital role of edge computing in autonomous vehicles. This technology enables our AVs to process vast amounts of data in real-time which is crucial for the split-second decision-making required on the roads. He also explored the synergy between onboard and offboard AI, demonstrating our approach to building robust models in the cloud and refining them for optimal performance on the road.

Starting today we will deploy several manual mapping vehicles in Sunnyvale and Mountain View with the intent to progress to supervised testing with up to 5 AVs later this fall. Resuming testing in the Bay Area is an important step forward as we continue to work closely with California regulators and local stakeholders. This will allow our local employees to engage directly with our product as they refine and improve our tech through R&D.

We’re partnering with Uber to bring the benefits of safe, reliable, autonomous driving to even more people.

Like Cruise, Uber is revolutionizing transportation and we look forward to working together. For more information, follow the link: https://bit.ly/3T1NJMZ

Last week, Emily Voorde joined our Disability at Cruise community group for a lively conversation on advocacy, allyship, and of course, AVs and the future of transportation. Thank you Emily for being a part of our monthly celebrations for Disability Pride Month!

Happy Disability Pride Month! Yesterday I had the opportunity to chat with Cruise advocates & allies about active allyship, self-disclosure, "Ancora Imparo", and the future of accessible ground transportation. During our chat, Michele asked me how the availability of driverless, autonomous vehicles would impact my day-to-day. The answer is: IMMENSELY! 18.6 million Americans have travel-limiting disabilities that prevent them from being able to access employment, community, and commerce. The work Cruise is doing has the potential to provide otherwise unattainable independence for countless. Many thanks to Michele L. & Yariel Diaz for moderating such a robust conversation!
