Deployment

Cruise AV (Chevrolet Bolt) at Phoenix

Name: Cruise AV (Chevrolet Bolt) at Phoenix
Location: Phoenix

Cruise's driverless robotaxi, based on the Chevrolet Bolt EV, which operated without a human safety driver in San Francisco commercial service from 2023 until driverless operations ended after the October 2, 2023 pedestrian-dragging incident. (Cruise also developed the purpose-built, steering-wheel-free Origin, which was shelved.) In December 2024 GM defunded the Cruise robotaxi business, consolidated the unit in-house, and redirected the autonomous technology toward personal-vehicle advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) rather than robotaxis (GM SEC 8-K, December 2024). Classified research to reflect that current direction; the commercial-era San Francisco deployment records preserve the historical service state.

Cruise soft-launched paid driverless robotaxi rides in Phoenix in December 2022. Paid service ended in the October 2023 nationwide pause; a brief April 2024 return was human-driven mapping only, not a service relaunch, and the program was scrapped when GM ended Cruise robotaxi funding in December 2024. The pilot did not convert.
