Cruise, the autonomous vehicle unit of General Motors, has received a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission to begin commercial operation in San Francisco. 

Toyota and autonomous driving system developer Aurora earlier this month began testing a driverless ridesharing service in Texas.

Volkswagen plans a $7.1 billion electrification investment, Stellantis halts production at a Jeep plant to make EV upgrades, and GM buys out a Cruise minority stakeholder.

Legal precedent is hard to come by in the realm of automated driving, making autonomous systems the auto industry's Wild West.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttegieg says policy regarding autonomous vehicles will take a major step forward in the coming years.

BMW last week laid out plans to advance its autonomous driving technologies over the next several years, ultimately eyeing a deployment of Level 3 ADAS sometime in 2025.

Autonomous vehicle company Cruise will start offering rides to the general public in San Francisco.
