Change to Cruise Origin section

[edit]

Hey everyone, I added a sentence to the end of the Cruise Origin section about Cruise's recent partnership with Honda as my first Wikipedia edit. I also added a reference. Please let me know if I missed anything! Helpmeimnew (talk) 21:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because I am currently working on getting the content up! Sorry for this inconvenience.

COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! COI editor for Cruise here. (GM is a client of Fleishman Hillard, a sister agency of my employer, Porter Novelli.) Requesting some edits to this article:

  • Adding to infobox:
| num_employees = 1800[1]
| num_employees_year = 2020
  • Adding to "History":
Cruise raised an additional $1.15 billion in new equity in May 2019, bringing its total valuation to $19 billion.[2][3]
  • In "Testing and development", deleting:
CEO Kyle Vogt has stated that commercial deployment will occur via a ride-sharing service platform,[4] but what platform remains unknown.
(Seems to me that a YouTube video of the CEO is a subpar source, and I think the paragraph below provides alternative specifics.)
  • In "Testing and development", adding:
In January 2020, the company showcased the Cruise Origin, a Level 4–5 driverless vehicle,[5] intended to be used for a ride hailing service.[6] The Origin is purpose-built as a self-driving vehicle, rather than retrofitted from a non-autonomous vehicle, and contains no manual steering controls.[7] Costing approximately $50,000 to manufacture at scale,[8] the vehicle is all-electric and designed to have a one-million-mile lifespan.[9] Cruise announced that future Origin vehicles would be manufactured at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant.[10][11]
In October 2020, the California Department of Motor Vehicles gave Cruise a permit to test fully driverless vehicles.[12] Cruise began testing vehicles without a human safety driver present on the streets of San Francisco in December 2020.[13]

I appreciate your time and feedback. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:10, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Origin

[edit]

To document the early stages of Cruise, I will upload city records of Kyle Vogt's purchase of 54 Gilbert Street San Francisco CA in September 2013. Kyle Vogt rented the property months before the purchase. I will also upload a picture taken in July of 2013 of the inside of the garage showing Kyle's Audi being modified for self driving capability. 32174168Z (talk) 00:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is "near"?!
