Do you remember the autonomous car designed by General Motors without a steering wheel and pedals?
At first, we mocked it, saying it was an autonomous vehicle built from traditional car models with no futuristic feel.
However, does appearance matter for autonomous vehicles? Mass production is more critical.
General Motors announced that it would invest over $100 million in producing Cruise AV in Michigan. Moreover, it also released the first high-definition layout of the roof-mounted LiDAR.
General Motors plans to create the first autonomous taxi fleet. In January of this year, it submitted an application to the US Federal Government, but the NHTSA has not yet issued a final audit result.
If it obtains policy approval, Cruise AV is expected to be officially launched in 2019 and will prioritize previously tested cities such as San Francisco.
If successful, this may be the first production of a LiDAR-equipped autonomous vehicle from a traditional car manufacturer.
