Cruise received a permit from the California DMV to remove the human backup drivers from our self-driving cars. Before the end of the year, we’ll be sending cars out onto the streets of SF—without gasoline and without anyone at the wheel.

Self-driving vehicles are one of the greatest engineering challenges of our generation. The potential to save millions of lives, reshape our cities, give people more time, and restore freedom of movement for many motivates our teams at Cruise everyday.
