A petition filed
"Cruise has taken a big step toward our vision of a safer, more sustainable and accessible transportation future.Together with General Motors, we have filed a petition seeking approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to build and put the Cruise Origin into commercial service," said Cruise's blog.
Cruise went on to note how it hoped to offer mobility options for people who have struggled with reliable transportation such as seniors and the blind. Cruise also hopes to reduce the country's reliance on oil and emissions by putting on the streets the Origin, a zero-emission, shared, electric vehicle without human controls like steering wheels or brake pedals.
Since the Origin will be manufactured at General Motors' Michigan Factory ZERO, the firm will also create American jobs and promote economic development. In addition, throughout the petition, General Motors and Cruise focused heavily on safety declaring that it was their"mission."Overall, the firm and its self-driving unit outlined how they were driven by the desire to do better environmentally and socially."In the spirit of the U.S.
This isn't General Motor's first petition to the NHTSA. Back in 2018, the firm petitioned the organization to allow another car without steering wheels or brake pedals on U.S. roads but withdrew the petition in a matter of two years. If the NHTSA approves this latest request, it could revolutionize the future ofGET YOUR DAILY NEWS DIRECTLY IN YOUR INBOX
