(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.","formFactor":"av","maturityStage":"commercial","lifecycleState":"discontinued","supersededByModelId":null,"specs":{},"manufacturerSerial":null,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","sources":[{"url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/nhtsa-robotaxi-cruise-pay-penalty-failing-report-san-francisco-crash-involving-pedestrian/","label":"CBS — Chevrolet Bolt autonomous EV dragged pedestrian ~20 feet at ~7 mph","title":"CBS — Chevrolet Bolt autonomous EV dragged pedestrian ~20 feet at ~7 mph","mediaType":"article","sourceName":"CBS News","publishedAt":"2024-11-12"},{"url":"https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/10/gm-halts-funding-of-robotaxi-development-by-cruise.html","title":"GM exits robotaxi market; halts funding of Cruise robotaxi development, folds unit in-house (Dec 10, 2024)","sourceName":"CNBC"},{"url":"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1467858/000119312524274336/d917047dex991.htm","title":"General Motors (SEC 8-K exhibit) - realigning autonomous strategy; ending Cruise robotaxi development (Dec 2024)","sourceName":"SEC EDGAR (GM 8-K)"}],"aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"low","reviewNote":null,"manufacturerTermForTeleop":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-26T12:58:37.573Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-31T03:47:06.329Z"},"deployment":null,"company":null,"derived":{"status":"active"},"sources":[{"id":"1022f4e3-9148-4e01-9ff9-da9eeaa32375","incidentId":"ea0c8c49-7c9f-4b98-9cb4-08afd2b1d2c9","url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RMISC-24E067-1279.pdf","label":"NHTSA (Part 573, 24E-067)","publishedAt":null,"notes":null,"title":null,"sourceName":null,"mediaType":"article","videoId":null,"channel":null,"durationSec":null,"timestampSec":null,"createdAt":"2026-06-04T21:20:07.574Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-04T21:20:07.574Z"},{"id":"95a5e12f-c0f8-4925-ae04-dc09dbdcf0d0","incidentId":"ea0c8c49-7c9f-4b98-9cb4-08afd2b1d2c9","url":"https://techcrunch.com/2024/08/22/cruise-recall-av-fleet-nhtsa-probe-closed/","label":"TechCrunch","publishedAt":null,"notes":null,"title":null,"sourceName":null,"mediaType":"article","videoId":null,"channel":null,"durationSec":null,"timestampSec":null,"createdAt":"2026-06-04T21:20:07.574Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-04T21:20:07.574Z"}],"responses":[],"statusEvents":[],"jsonLd":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://registry.deploy.report/incidents/cruise-fleet-braking-recall-2024","url":"https://registry.deploy.report/incidents/cruise-fleet-braking-recall-2024","headline":"Cruise recalls its entire 1,194-vehicle fleet over unexpected hard braking","description":"NHTSA recall 24E-067 (filed Aug 22 2024; remedy released earlier): older Cruise ADS software could unexpectedly hard-brake when a cyclist/vehicle approached from the rear; NHTSA's ODI (opened Dec 2022) tied 10 crashes / 4 injuries to hard-braking reports.
