Key leaders depart GM's Cruise amid ongoing investigation into San Francisco accident

Several key leaders are no longer with General Motors’ Cruise amid an ongoing investigation into an October accident involving one of its driverless cars, the robotaxi service confirmed late Wednesday. Cruise said that nine individuals departed following an initial analysis of the October 2 incident — when a Cruise robotaxi ran over a pedestrian who had been hit by another human-driven car in San Francisco — and the company’s response. The latest departures include leaders in from legal, government affairs, commercial operations and safety and systems teams, Cruise said. The announcement arrives just weeks after Kyle Vogt resigned as Cruise’s CEO.
