Full self-driving is a long way off, but GM can use Cruise to develop new active safety systems for their current cars. I don't think GM is doing as well there as Toyota or Honda, let alone Tesla.

Cruise (the SF company) doesn't do any work related to GM's current cars, we are focused 100% on full self driving.

Note GM has another product called SuperCruise which is a totally different thing.

Funny thing about marketing. Tesla’s autopilot and GM’s supercruise is effectively the same thing in the scope of vehicle automation. GM is doing a poor job of showcasing it though to the general public, unless it’s by default to avoid being sued.

Huh, Cruise's work doesn't feed into Supercruise at all? That's mildly surprising
