Pete Bigelow, Senior Reporter, Automotive News joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Detroit's future in autonomy. When GM shutdown Cruise, did they end Detroit's autonomous future?GM has a pattern of getting to the one-yard line and fumbling with innovations like the EV1, skateboard architecture and now Cruise. As the fundamental challenges facing legacy automakers only increase, is Detroit on the verge of becoming Foxconn City?GM's decision making has direct parallels to IBM's decline in tech innovation. Could GM be following the same path as IBM? Only time will tell, but serious questions remain about GM and Detroit's ability to compete in an increasingly software-driven, autonomous automotive future.Recorded on Monday, December 16, 2024Episode Chapters0:00 Detroit's Future in Autonomy5:22 Dan Ammann's Cruise Strategy9:49 December 16, 202412:22 Autonomy Tailwinds14:20 User/Driver Experiences17:37 Does Detroit Become Foxconn City?19:58 Is GM Afraid of Change?29:22 Is GM the new IBM?35:30 Could Waymo License the Origin from GM?39:47 Economics of Autonomous Vehicle Rides41:57 LiDAR Market45:04 Human in the Loop--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy® is a leading source of data, insight and commentary on autonomous vehicles/trucks and the emerging autonomy economy™.Sign up for This Week in The Autonomy Economy newsletter: https://www.roadtoautonomy.com/autonomy-economy/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the dramatic turn of events that led GM to abruptly shut down Cruise, just days before a planned driver-out launch in Houston. The decision made by CEO Mary Barra, reportedly stems from fears of another incident.With the decision to pull the plug on Cruise, GM burnt $9 billion of investment dollars with nothing to show for it. The Cruise shutdown highlights the ongoing challenges of how traditional automakers are approaching autonomy. As traditional automakers falter, Waymo and Tesla continue to accelerate as the market is beginning to consolidate around them as the leaders in robotaxis.As we look to 2025, more consolidation is likely on the way, with Daimler Truck potentially scaling back their in-house autonomous trucking program (Torc Robotics). Then there is Uber which is struggling to define their autonomy narrative to the market.

Fred is off this week but Michael and I push on. Did you know that driving on Thanksgiving is more dangerous than driving on the mad shopping day of Black Friday?The NTSB suggests that NHTSA make ISA a thing. Gotta love those acronyms. Basically one safety regulator is asking a different safety regulator to put in a system to alert drivers that they are going to fast. Speaking of NHTSA for 50 years they've not delivered on a seat back safety standard that would prevent passengers in the back seat from getting crushed by the front seats.We bid adieu to tech-bro Kyle Vogt formerly of GM Cruise as he got to resign instead of being fired.

This week Michael and Anthony claim to be visited by the deep state (or just happen to be around helicopters) and Fred has his voice replaced by an AI (head cold). Could it be GM? Nah, they are too busy putting a lawyer in charge of their GM Cruise division. Anyone got the over/under on whether their CEO Kyle will make it to the end of year? Lucky for him American corporations tend let people fail upwards.Did you know that anti-lock brakes are not required on motorcycles? And that lots of people don't want the ability for their car to be remotely disabled. What if they are drunk?

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. To date this has only cost GM a few billion dollars. How much more will they burn?Another Cybertruck is spotted in the wild, more reports of Tesla's ADAS systems being more hazard than help, Mercedes issues a recall for 8 cars and listener mail has Fred do some math on the cost of ownership of an EV vs an ICE vs a Hybrid car.This weeks links:https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/consumer-alert-steering-wheel-decorative-emblem-decalshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38145062https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/technology/cruise-general-motors-self-driving-cars.htmlhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RMISC-23E086-4326.pdfhttps://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/britain-says-automakers-will-be-liable-for-selfdriving-crashes-not-owners-432SI-3225348https://insideevs.com/news/694929/tesla-cybertruck-matte-black-impressions/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/07/super-fog-new-orleans-car-crasheshttps://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/here-s-why-tesla-s-autopilot-isn-t-the-best-adas-currently/ar-AA1cIf9Ghttps://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-full-self-driving-helpless-cameras-fog-up-cold-weatherhttps://newsroom.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/YDC-Brochure_2023-FINAL-8.30.23-.pdfhttps://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2023-11-03/toyota-is-not-advising-people-to-park-recalled-rav4-suvs-outdoors-despite-reports-of-engine-fireshttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2019/INCLA-PE19012-12269.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V733-6826.PDF

Time to pour some out for the poor folks at GM Cruise as they take time to reflect on how they can better earn the public's trust. We suggest not dragging people under your car and lying about it to regulators. On the plus side lying to NHTSA will hopefully make NHTSA a little more proactive in their investigations into this company. Might make the GM Cruise investors a little more proactive too. Toyota has been slow to move into the EV market and now they are having an, "I told you so" moment as EV's are not selling as well as expected. At the same time Toyota is putting a fake clutch and shifter into their EV because one good idea deserves to be followed up by one dumb idea? We dig into how safety inspections need to be updated for ADAS and self driving vehicles. And how exactly is a self driving car with no pedals or steering wheel going to get itself to an inspection station?

To celebrate Fred and Anthony's birthday the California DMV has banned GM Cruise self driving cars. The moral of the story? Don't listen to tech bro nonsense AND don't lie to the DMV. Turns out the GM Cruise that ran over a woman dragged her too but GM Cruise forgot to mention that part.The DOJ is getting all up in Tesla's business. Turns out lying to consumers about their EV range is not a good thing. A "super fog" causes a 168 car pile up, Colorado adds a vehicle weight fee, Fred invents a new number 5 and recall roundup.This weeks links:https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/10/24/cruise-robotaxis-california-suspended/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/10/24/superfog-louisiana-highway-crashes-marsh/e8dc0152-726b-11ee-936d-7a16ee667359_story.htmlhttps://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928563/tesla-doj-ev-range-exaggerate-investigationhttps://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/10/elon-musk-talks-tesla-we-dug-our-own-grave-with-the-cybertruck/https://usa.streetsblog.org/2023/10/18/colorados-vehicle-weight-fee-could-tame-megacar-crisis-and-protect-vulnerable-road-usershttps://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=23V696000https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=23V692000https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=23V686000https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V700-2183.PDF

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley discusses various energy-related topics. He first mentions California's suspension of testing GM Cruise self-driving cars due to safety concerns, highlighting the need for energy security and trust in autonomous vehicles. He then discusses the declining appeal of clean energy stocks, attributing the decrease in value to rising interest rates and regulatory challenges in implementing renewable energy infrastructure. Turley touches on the impact of European energy policies on oil prices and suggests a recession may be underway in Germany. He also mentions Petrobras' plan to change its dividend policy, which could affect investors. Finally, he discusses the value gap between European and U.S. oil majors amidst recent mergers and acquisitions in the industry, emphasizing the role of ESG considerations. Turley invites questions and industry thought leaders to the podcast and hints at exciting announcements in the future.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 – Intro02:25 - California hits pause on GM Cruise self-driving cars due to safety concerns04:07 - Why the Shine Has Come Off Clean-Energy Stocks06:24 - Oil prices fall amid flurry of weak European economic data08:42 - Petrobras Plans Dividend Policy Change10:17 - Value gap between European, U.S. oil majors “stubbornly wide” amidst Exxon, Chevron megadeals12:12 - OutroPlease see the links below for articles that the host discuss in the podcast.California hits pause on GM Cruise self-driving cars due to safety concernsNews|Technology The United States state of California has suspended testing of Cruise self-driving cars developed by General Motors (GM), citing safety concerns after a series of accidents and mishaps.

GM Cruise is the gift that keeps on giving to this podcast. Cruise and their CEO Kyle have repeatedly claimed that their cars are so much safer than humans. How much safer you ask? Well their new software will recognize a firehose. My 3 year old nephew can do the same thing but the DMV won't let him drive a car. Also in this episode Michael gives Anthony some driving advice, NHTSA investigates Cruise for being as good as a bad human driver when it comes to pedestrians, Hawaii cuts down on catalytic convertor theft, Fred explains what a minimal risk condition is and hopefully the autonomous vehicle industry can establish a standard for one and we discuss some recalls of Fords and Tesla's.This weeks links:https://jalopnik.com/update-to-gm-s-cruise-robotaxis-will-try-to-stop-them-f-1850925703https://getcruise.com/news/blog/2023/how-were-improving-emergency-vehicle-and-first-responder-interactions/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2023/INOA-PE23018-11587.pdfhttps://www.autoevolution.com/news/kia-patches-the-kia-boyz-patch-updated-upgrade-now-available-222794.htmlhttps://jalopnik.com/hawaii-figured-out-how-to-stop-catalytic-theft-why-has-1850929873https://www.businessinsider.com/zipcar-fined-renting-recalled-ford-transits-nhtsa-2023-10https://jalopnik.com/people-are-souring-on-self-driving-cars-1850899836?trk=feed_main-feed-card_feed-article-contenthttps://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/54/02/2d5919914cfe9549e79721b12e66/j3016-202104.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V675-3320.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V679-9146.PDF

On this day in legal history, August 21, 1878, the American Bar Association or ABA was formed.The American Bar Association (ABA) was established on August 21, 1878, in Saratoga Springs, New York, marking a pivotal moment in American legal history. At a time when the legal profession was primarily comprised of sole practitioners, 100 lawyers from 21 states founded the ABA with the stated aim of advancing jurisprudence, promoting justice, and ensuring uniformity of legislation. Since its inception, the ABA has grown to represent approximately half of all lawyers in the United States, with additional categories of associate and international memberships.Throughout its history, the ABA has not been without its warranted criticisms and controversies. The Association's past stances on race led to marked scrutiny, with a notable incident in 1912 where William H. Lewis's admission was rescinded due to his race, a policy only changed in 1943. This legacy spurred the creation of the National Bar Association by African-American lawyers in 1925. In recent years, the ABA has made attempts to increase diversity, such as electing its first African American and Hispanic-American presidents and achieving a majority-female roster of officers in 2016. More recently, criticism extends to policy positions, drawing ire particularly from conservative viewpoints for its stances on issues like abortion, gun control, and same-sex marriage. Additional criticism has been directed at the ABA's failure to keep pace with the changing demands of modern society, its resistance to regulatory reform, and its handling of the practice of law in modernity. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has ruled that AI-generated art does not qualify for copyright protection as it lacks human authorship. The case was brought by computer scientist Stephen Thaler, who sought copyright registration for a piece created by his AI program "Creativity Machine," but the U.S. Copyright Office denied his application. Judge Beryl A. Howell's decision is the first in the U.S. to define legal boundaries for AI-generated art, a rapidly growing field. Citing previous cases where non-human creations were denied copyright protection, Howell stated that courts have consistently refused to recognize copyright in works without human involvement. The ruling opens up questions about how much human input is required for AI-generated works to qualify for copyright and how to determine the originality of such art. Thaler's attorney plans to appeal, but the Copyright Office believes the court's decision was correct. The ruling adds to an ongoing debate about copyrightability in the era of AI, as the Copyright Office recently granted limited copyright registration for an AI-assisted graphic novel, further complicating the issue.AI-Generated Art Lacks Copyright Protection, D.C. Court Says (1)A federal judge has rejected a $6 million class settlement between Tesla Inc. and homeowners who claimed the company engaged in a bait-and-switch with rooftop solar panel prices. In 2016, Tesla introduced a solar panel that resembled a tiled roof, and plaintiffs Matthew Amans and Babek Malek alleged that the company initially lured customers with a low cost before hiking the prices in April 2021. The proposed settlement included specific sums for customers who incurred additional costs or chose to proceed at the increased price. The plaintiffs asked Judge Vince Chhabria to preliminarily approve the deal in June, which would cover around 8,200 class members. However, Judge Chhabria denied the approval motion, stating that the filing didn't adequately explain the case's strengths and weaknesses or sufficiently clarify how the parties calculated the relief amounts. The case was dismissed without prejudice which means we will see a refiling of the motion for preliminary approval of class action settlement. Tesla $6 Million Solar Roof Price-Hike Deal Rejected by JudgeAn investor in AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. will drop a lawsuit demanding a board election at the movie theater chain, as the company has scheduled its first general shareholder meeting in over a year for November 8. The parties agreed to dismiss the litigation in Delaware's Court of Chancery with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be refiled. The lawsuit was filed in July, in conjunction with a separate shareholder case over AMC's APE units. An approved nine-figure settlement on August 11 allowed AMC to enact a plan to convert its preferred stock to common shares, with APE units ceasing to trade on August 25. The Chancery Court denied a motion to stop the conversion from one objecting investor. Meanwhile, another AMC investor filed a new lawsuit this week alleging that the settlement shortchanges APE holders. In a related development, AMC has sued its insurers in Delaware Superior Court for refusing to fund the settlement.AMC Investor Agrees to Drop Lawsuit Over Chain's Annual MeetingCalifornia's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is investigating "recent concerning incidents" involving General Motors' autonomous vehicle unit Cruise, after a robotaxi was involved in a collision with an emergency vehicle in San Francisco. The DMV has requested Cruise to reduce its active fleet by 50% until the investigation is completed and road safety improvements are made, a request Cruise has agreed to. The accident occurred when a fire truck operating in an emergency mode collided with one of Cruise's cars, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries to the sole passenger. Cruise stated that the car identified the risk and initiated a braking maneuver but was unable to avoid the crash. This incident comes after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted to allow Cruise and Waymo's robotaxis to operate at all hours and charge passengers in San Francisco, despite opposition. Following the accident, City Attorney David Chiu has requested a halt to CPUC's decision, citing that the technology is not yet ready.California regulator probes crashes involving GM's Cruise robotaxis | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
