About
Cruise, the self-driving car subsidiary of General Motors, laid off 900 employees in December 2023, representing 24% of its then 3,800-person workforce. This major restructuring aimed to slash costs and revamp the company following a severe safety incident in October where a pedestrian was struck and dragged by a Cruise robotaxi. The layoffs primarily targeted non-engineering roles in field operations, commercial operations, and corporate staffing, as the company refocused its strategy to rebuild its service cautiously in one city. The announcement was made via a company-wide email from the new president and CTO, with affected workers receiving severance packages including extended pay and benefits.
