General Motors Co. is spending more than $100 million to prepare two factories to make fully robotic Chevrolet Cruise sedans beginning next year.
GM revealed a prototype of the Cruise AV in January and has been testing the car since then. The company has applied for federal approval to operate as many as 2,500 of the fully autonomous cars, which have no steering wheel, on public roads.
When the prototype was presented two months ago, GM said the Cruise AV is intended to operate with specific geographic areas and over roads with “known” operating conditions. The car is expected to be deployed by a ride-sharing/ride-hailing service.
