GM Cruise is on a death watch. They no longer have non-driverless cars, they've recalled all of their cars so that they don't drag humans caught underneath them and they stopped production of their contender for worlds ugliest car, the Cruise Origin.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Welcome to the best month on the calendar as we give a spirited UAW strike update, peruse the list of new vehicles over the next 18 months, and review the very first show at the site of the NADA Show opening party at the Las Vegas Sphere.Weekend tensions were rising between the UAW and the Detroit 3 as 7000 additional workers went on strike. Ford CEO Jim Farley alleges the union is holding automakers "hostage" with unreasonable demands, stating, "A bad deal would threaten midsize or expensive larger vehicles." and that if the goal was a historic contract, that was already on the table. UAW President Shawn Fain countered by accusing Farley of "lying about the state of negotiations." Fain emphasized, "Bargaining's always a two-way street," and criticized the companies for frequently shifting their stance. The dispute has now engaged approximately 25,000 workers. Nyle Maxwell, owner of four Stellantis stores and chairman of the Stellantis National Dealer Council, voiced concerns about the ongoing strike's impact on inventory and the supply chain. He's been stockpiling fast moving parts and highlighted the potential crunch on Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator inventory. Maxwell emphasized, "any additional strike targets are just going to cripple the entire supply chain." He urges "more strategic thinking and less bluster."Flashback to 2017: Automotive News released its first annual Future Product Pipeline listing all plug-in vehicles headed to market. The Chevrolet Bolt was a fresh face and Elon Musk was touted as a champion of a progressive audience as he announced his ambitious promise of a $35,000 Tesla Model 3 made headlines. Today the Model 3 is the number one selling EV on the market even though it never met that price point, and the Gen 1 Bolt is about to be history. Since then, the automotive landscape has evolved dramatically, and the list of EVs coming to market is longer than the list of ICE vehiclesAcura ZDX, Audi A6 E-tron, Audi Q6 E-tron, BMW i5, BMW i7, BrightDrop Zevo 400, Buick electric crossover, Cadillac Escalade IQ, Cadillac Celestiq, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Bolt EUV/EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Chevrolet Silverado EV, Cruise Origin, Dodge Challenger EV, Dodge Charger EV, Fiat 500e, Porsche Taycan, Ram 1500 REV, Ram ProMaster, Rivian R1S, Rivian R1T, Rolls-Royce Spectre, Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Roadster, VinFast VF 6, VinFast VF 7, VinFast VF 9, Volkswagen ID Buzz, Volkswagen ID4, Volkswagen ID7, Volvo EX30, Volvo EX90.Last Friday night, U2 kicked off a new era of live performances at Las Vegas's groundbreaking Sphere venue…which will also be the location of the NADA Show Welcome Reception this year.The $2B Sphere made full use of the 16K, wrap around screen as 18,600 fans lost their minds across social mediaGA, standing room admission was over $200 face value with parking costing $100U2 will play 25 shows at the sphereHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Gil West, Chief Operating Officer, Cruise joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Cruise is scaling operations across the world. The conversation begins with Gil discussing GM's revenue target for Cruise of $1 billion in revenue by 2025.We are on target. – Gil WestCruise is on target to hit their revenue goal because they are scaling. Currently Cruise has operations in 15 cities in 10 states. As Cruise scales, they are creating a flywheel effect that continuously improves their operations. We are creating a flywheel effect as we go to market and scale. – Gil WestThe Cruise experience from city to city is consistent from a rider perspective. Behind this consistency is an operational playbook that is deployed in each new city that Cruise expands service. One of the key elements of this playbook is partnerships. When Cruise enters a new city, the company is focused on leveraging underutilized assets to ensure the most cost efficient operations. In San Francisco, Cruise is installing chargers at Oracle Park (Home of the San Francisco Giants) that the company will use when a baseball game is not taking place. When a game is taking place, fans will be able to use the chargers. When it comes to potential expansion cities, Cruise looks at the ODD (operation design domain) that fits the technologies capabilities, commercial opportunity in the market, market density, the availability of infrastructure and the regulatory environment. Our goal is to bring driverless tech to as many people as possible in many places as we can. – Gil WestAs we have seen in San Francisco and Phoenix, overtime Cruise will expand their service area in new cities to eventually cover the entire city. As Cruise expands the amount of ride supply in a city, they are conscious about passenger pick-up wait times. Our goal here of course is to provide a consistently better experience and more accessibility at an affordable price point, and have people be able access the vehicles in a very timely manner. – Gil WestThe experience that Cruise provides in the future is only going to be enhanced when the service becomes integrated into stadiums, concert venues and airports. No more waiting in line trying to catch an Uber or finding your driver. With autonomy and integrations, these headaches will become a thing of the past. As part of their vision for autonomy, Cruise designed and built the Cruise Origin in partnership with GM. The Origin is currently testing on public roads in San Francisco and Austin as the company prepares to deploy the vehicle for commercial operations pending NHTSA approval. We will be introducing the Origin commercially soon and then in multiple cities. – Gil WestWrapping up the conversation, Gil shares his opinion on the future of Cruise which includes new vehicle form factors.Chapters:0:00 The Road to Autonomy Index0:55 Introduction1:17 Cruise $1 Billion 2025 Revenue Target Reaffirmed 2:45 Scaling Cruise and Maintaining the Experience 9:13 Expansion into New Cities 22:41 Pick-up Times24:37 Future Cruise Experiences 29:54 Cruise Origin 35:53 Operating a Profitable Business 39:22 Future of CruiseRecorded on Tuesday, September 12, 2023--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy® is a leading source of data, insight and commentary on autonomous vehicles and logistics.

Jason Fischer, Executive Chief Engineer, Autonomous Vehicles, GM joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy Podcast to discuss the creation of the Cruise Origin and how GM is going to manufacturer and scale the Origin. The conversation begins with Jason discussing how important the Cruise Origin is to GM's autonomous vehicle plans. The Cruise Origin is incredibly important to GM's autonomous plans. We believe that at General Motors we're pursuing what we believe is the most comprehensive path to autonomous mobility in the entire industry. – Jason FischerAs the Origin was developed the team took away a lot of learnings from the Bolt AV. The Bolt AV laid the foundation for GM to develop the Cruise Origin in a scaleable manner. The Bolt AV really sets the foundation for us to be able to quickly put the Cruise Origin out in a scaleable manner. The Bolt AV is kind of our learning opportunity before we expand the Cruise Origin. – Jason FischerIn order to be able to scale, you have to have world-class manufacturing facilities and this is exactly what GM and Cruise are doing with the Origin. The Origin is being manufactured at the GM's Factory ZERO plant in Detroit. Cruise is tapping into GM's heritage of building world-class vehicles that are reliable and safe. This becomes a competitive advantage for Cruise as the company scales operations around the world.GM has a 100 year history of making great products and you see them on the road every day. We haven't wavered from that, especially from a safety perspective. We haven't wavered from that when we bring these autonomous vehicles out. – Jason FischerAs Cruise prepares to deploy the Origins on public roads, one of the key ways that Cruise is going to be able to build and maintain trust with the public is GM. As the public will know that the vehicle was built by world-class engineers on an assembly line that prioritizes safety. Prior to deploying an Origin on public roads, the vehicle will go through the same safety validation that each and every GM vehicle goes through in addition to a complete system-wide software and sensor validation. We're not cutting any corners. That's not the way GM does work. It's always going to be safe deployment. It's always going to be customer safety first. – Jason FischerWhen a consumer first steps into the Cruise Origin it will be an inviting experience that welcomes you to walk into the vehicle. Through the use of light and color, Cruise has designed the vehicle in a manner that makes it easy to understand how to put your seat belt on and start the ride.Inviting is really the word that I think of when I think of the Cruise Origin and how it's going to interact with the customer. – Jason FischerFor the business of autonomous ride-sharing to truly operate at peak performance, up-time of the vehicle will be mission critical. Cruise has a developed an operating range metric which will allow operations to be opportunistic as when to charge the vehicle. The autonomous vehicle industry can learn a lot from the airline industry and this exactly what Cruise is putting into practice by hiring airline executives to develop and implement the operations strategy. Very similar to fuselage that airlines use to move passengers around the world, GM developed the Cruise Origin to last for a long time. Our strategy was, we want the body to last as long as it possibly can. Our body right now from a structural perspective will last over a million miles. – Jason FischerGM has taken a very aggressive stance towards autonomy and embraced it throughout the entire company. It's a strategy that has allowed Cruise to flourish and one that will allow Cruise to scale operations around the world. Innovations come to GM to live. – Jason FischerAs we move into the future GM will keep innovating as the company is committed to introducing and deploying a personal-owned autonomous vehicle by the end of the decade. Wrapping up the conversation, Jason shares his thoughts on the future of autonomous vehicles. The future of autonomous is endless. We are just starting to scratch the surface. – Jason FischerFollow The Road To Autonomy on Apple PodcastsFollow The Road To Autonomy on LinkedInFollow The Road To Autonomy on TwitterRecorded on Tuesday, November 1, 2022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
John Rossant, Founder & CEO, CoMotion and Advisory Board Member, NEOM joined Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss the changing landscape of cities. The conversation begins with John discussing the vision for the futuristic region of NEOM which is roughly the size of Massachusetts located in the Northwest of Saudi Arabia. 95% of the NEOM region will be preserved in it's natural state and there will be no highways or carbon emissions. Sustainability is at the core of NEOM.NEOM is a very big bet on hydrogen. The core energy of NEOM is hydrogen. – John RossantThe heart of NEOM should be THE LINE development which is a 75-mile long and 1,600 foot skyscraper which is connected by a high-speed train.The world does needs a radical experiment like this. We can not continue urbanizing as we have been, we are ruining the planet. If we can think of a way to do this in a sustainable way using renewable energy, that could be pretty interesting. – John RossantIn the United States, the City of Miami is growing and changing as new individuals move into the region from around the world. However the issue facing Miami today is the city's all-in approach to cryptocurrency without diversification. Could the lack of the City's diversification lead to another classic Miami boom and bust cycle? Grayson and John discuss the current state of Miami's economy, while offering their unique opinions on the future of Miami. Miami, it's a much much much bigger story than just crypto. – John RossantOne of the stories emerging in Miami is the focus on decarbonizing ocean transport. Over in NEOM, there is a a mixed-use urban development called OXAGON located in the Red Sea which when completed will be the largest floating structure in the world. In time, I think the Red Sea will become the new Mediterranean in terms of kind of yachting in paradise, boating, etc. – John RossantThe story emerging in Dubai is Cruise preparing to deploy the fully autonomous Cruise Origin in 2023 on public roads. With the advancement of NEOM and the emerging Cruise deployment in Dubai, the Middle East is beginning to emerge as a growing market for autonomy. While the Middle East is a growing market for autonomy, New York City is a shrinking market for mass-transit.Mass-transit and public transportation have to be made fun and seamless. – John RossantThis is where multi-modal and on-demand mobility is thriving as consumers want what they want, when they want it without friction. Wrapping up the conversation, Grayson and John discuss why the future of mobility is choice.

Gil West, Chief Operating Officer, Cruise joined Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss commercializing Cruise and why it's their Wright Brothers moment.The conversation begins with Gil discussing Cruise's road to commercialization.At a high level, we are making the pivot from an R&D company to commercial operations. – Gil WestWith a background as the former COO of Delta Airlines, Gil knows how to scale complex commercial operations while ensuring world-class customer service for customers.If you are able to run great operations, it is a real springboard for the customer experience. – Gil WestGreat customer service becomes fuel for a business and this is the path that Cruise is on as the company shifts its focus to commercializing its service. This is exactly what Delta did when the company purchased an oil refinery, introduced employee profit-sharing, stock options, and merged with Northwest Airlines.Over time you just have to drive the results to back up your vision and that was the approach. – Gil WestComparing and contrasting the airline business to the autonomous vehicle business, Gil and Grayson break down the airline industry and what the autonomous vehicle industry can learn from 100+ years of operations experience.The Cruise Origin vehicle will operate in a similar to Boeing or Airbus planes on fixed maintenance and upgrade schedules. Each Origin's lifespan will be a million miles and after its service, the Origin will be recycled.It was only 93 years ago that Delta operated its first commercial flight. 93 years later, Cruise autonomous vehicles are now driving around the streets of San Fransico with no driver behind the wheel. Technology has come a long way during this time and has forever changed the world.Gil reflects on history and offers the following powerful statement:This is our Wright Brothers moment. – Gil WestAs autonomous vehicles operations scale, the economic benefits will have a profound effect on the global economy.I am old enough to remember the advent of personal computers. It was kind of the same thing there as people would look at it and go what does this mean, what does it mean to me, even my job. And then you realize, It's a tool and it just drives additional productivity and I think that's ultimately how autonomous will emerge. It just creates time advantages and productivity advantages that give us all another leg up in society. – Gil WestWhen Cruise expands to new cities and scales, the company has to ensure the reliability of its service. Cruise is able to do this because of the amount of data the vehicles gather. The data gathered is used to develop extremely accurate predictive maintenance models by using machine learning.As reliable as the airlines were, we have a chance actually to be even more reliable because of the data that we have and our ability to use it. – Gil WestWrapping up the conversation, Gil discusses growing up in his father's auto parts store and what he learned during that time. Bringing the conversation full circle, Gil shares insights into what is next for Cruise.Recorded on Thursday, March 10, 2021.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

阿里巴巴聚划算昨天发布声明表示,将加大对口罩等货品的补贴力度。针对当前物流成本等上升的现实情况,聚划算百亿补贴将加大对相关环节的补贴力度。聚划算有关负责人表示,官方补贴将保证口罩等商品的“到手价”不涨价。此外,聚划算百亿补贴在今天上线了抗病毒专区,除口罩外,补贴商品覆盖洗护、消毒、健康等各品类,如体温计、洗手液、清洁剂、消毒液、VC泡腾片等。 高德打车联合出行合作伙伴启动疫情应急预案,具体措施包括:1月22号-1月31号期间,武汉市内所有普通预约单和接送机预约单,乘客可免费取消,应付给网约车司机的取消费由高德打车联合合作伙伴承担;高德打车联合合作伙伴全力做好面向武汉网约车司机关于本次疫情的知识普及和口罩、洗手液、消毒液的发放工作,督促司机做好车内消毒、开窗通风等预防措施等。 36氪获悉,猫眼电影正式启动春节期间,电影票处理办法,春节期间武汉地区电影票支持无条件退票。春节期间非武汉地区的电影票,如用户有退票需求,针对已经开通自助退票服务的影院,可通过“我的订单”页面自助办理;针对不支持退改签的订单,将竭尽全力与影院沟通相关退票事宜,尽量减少用户损失。 荣耀智慧屏之后,鸿蒙系统将要走向手机和平板了。华为创始人任正非在达沃斯世界经济论坛上称,华为的鸿蒙系统已经上线,未来会应用到华为旗下手机、平板、电视等系列产品。鸿蒙是基于微内核的全场景分布式OS,能够实现不同终端的无缝协同体验。任正非曾谈及,鸿蒙系统是为物联网时代准备的,并不确定有没有这个能力把鸿蒙系统转化过来,把它当做系统来开放。 36氪获悉,腾讯微视正式上线“集家乡卡”的春节红包新玩法,活动将持续至2月8号元宵节。官方介绍称,活动期间,用户在微视刷视频集齐五张家乡卡,即可在初五、元宵两场开奖中瓜分两亿现金。 当地时间1月21号晚,通用汽车旗下的自动驾驶公司Cruise在旧金山发布了首款名为“Origin”的自动驾驶汽车。没有踏板,没有方向盘,传统控制装置都不存在,当然也没有驾驶员。这是一辆真正的“无人驾驶”。车内最多可容纳6人,还部署有气囊、“Start Ride”按钮、一个SOS按钮和顶部摄像头。Cruise公司称,Origin的功能并非局限于人类能力范围,多层传感器套件可以看到更广的波长光谱,AI处理决策的速度快过人脑,并能在夜间和恶劣的天气条件下提供服务。 近日有消息报道,星巴克声明,公司正寻求向更加环保的菜单过渡,在为早餐菜单“探索肉类替代品”。作为全球最大的咖啡连锁店,即使星巴克拒绝就具体的合作伙伴或品牌发表评论,但是还是引起了市场的注意。作为人造肉第一股,Beyond Meat的股价周二收涨约18.4%。据行业分析师分析,星巴克的声明说明了人造肉产品市场将持续增长。 8点1氪,今日言论。在2020冬季达沃斯年会上,谈及对于AI的看法,谷歌CEO桑达尔·皮查伊认为,AI或许是人类目前最重要的发明,将会比电和火对人类的影响更大。面对每个科技发明,都应该将其优势最大化,将负面影响最小化。此外,他表示AI将会使人类能够在未来拥有干净、价格低廉的能源。同时,对于风险的思考也是很重要的,人类需要提前思考AI安全性问题的解决方法,需要全球的治理框架与合作。
