The departure of Kan and Vogt adds to the challenges faced by Cruise as it strives to regain\u200c public trust and maintain its position in\u2064 the self-driving taxi industry.<\/p>\n<p>The resignation of Daniel \u200cKan, the co-founder and chief product officer of General Motors&#8217; Cruise, comes as a surprise following the departure of Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt. Kan announced his\u2064 resignation through a Slack message, but no further\u200b details were\u2062 provided. This sudden departure raises questions about the future of the company and adds to the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing safety review of Cruise&#8217;s \u200dU.S. \u2063fleet.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, Kan expressed \u200bconfidence in Cruise&#8217;s \u200cfuture in a message\u200c to employees, stating that the company\u2062 will\u2062 soon regain its momentum of serving 10,000\u200d rides per week. However, the recent incidents involving Cruise&#8217;s self-driving taxis have not \u200donly affected the company but also the entire self-driving taxi industry. Public trust and regulatory cooperation are crucial for the success of this industry, and the increased scrutiny from GM and its board poses additional challenges for Cruise.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Cruise temporarily halted all\u200d testing \u2064in the United States after an accident involving one of its self-driving \u200dtaxis and a \u200bpedestrian. This incident prompted\u2063 the\u2062 company to conduct a thorough safety review. Kan, who has not yet commented\u200b on his resignation, leaves behind a company in\u200d the midst of navigating this safety \u200dreview and \u2062facing \u2064the consequences of the accident.<\/p>\n<p>In response \u2062to these challenges, GM has made leadership changes at Cruise. A new chief administrative officer has been appointed, and a third-party \u2062auditing firm has\u2062 been brought in to conduct a comprehensive review of the \u200ccompany&#8217;s safety practices and protocols. GM is committed to ensuring the safety of its autonomous vehicles and \u200crestoring public trust in\u200b Cruise.<\/p>\n<p>The resignation of Daniel Kan \u200band the\u2064 departure of Kyle Vogt\u200d highlight the difficulties faced by Cruise in maintaining its position in the self-driving taxi industry. The company&#8217;s setbacks\u2062 not only affect\u200b its own operations but also have broader implications for the\u2064 industry as a whole. As Cruise works to address the issues raised by\u200b the safety review and regain public trust, the coming months will be crucial in determining the future of the company and the self-driving taxi \u200dindustry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8:24 PM UTC \u2013 November 20, 2023 (Reuters) \u2013 General Motors\u2019 (GM.N) Cruise co-founder and chief product officer Daniel Kan has resigned, the company told Reuters on Monday, a day after Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt quit.
