GM Shifts Focus to Autonomous Passenger Vehicles, Future Use in Robotaxis

en.Wedoany.com Reported - After shutting down its autonomous taxi subsidiary, General Motors has not fully exited the field but has shifted its strategic focus to the development of autonomous driving technology for passenger vehicles. Sterling Anderson, the company's Chief Product Officer, revealed that the autonomous driving system currently under development could be applied to robotaxi services in the future.

Anderson, who previously led Tesla's Autopilot program, explained in an interview that GM's development approach involves deconstructing driving scenarios and implementing autonomous driving functions in stages based on actual user needs. The team plans to first tackle autonomous driving on long-distance highways, then gradually expand to main roads and urban core areas.

Anderson believes that once GM's autonomous driving system achieves stable operation in a sufficient number of areas, launching a commercially viable robotaxi service will naturally follow. He stated that the operational scenarios for autonomous passenger vehicles and robotaxis will eventually fully overlap, making the technology naturally applicable to robotaxi services.
