Our take

The taxi industry has seen dramatic changes through mobile vehicle-hailing apps such as Uber, but these services focus simply on ease-of-access to regular taxi services. The automotive industry has seen a vast range of innovations in recent years such as electric cars and self-driving capability, features that are currently not found in existing services.

Cruise brings self-driving autonomy and electric cars together into a taxi-hailing mobile application. In addition to these innovations, the service focuses on efficiency through ride-sharing as opposed to each ride providing a single trip. Whilst other taxi-hailing services will inevitably turn to electric self-driving vehicles, Cruise shows potential to stand out through its AI-fuelled focus on carpooling and fleet efficiency.

Cruise, which has been acquired by General Motors, has received an inordinate amount of funding, including from Honda and Microsoft, with Softbank investing over $2B to scale its technology. A sum of this came after Cruise launched a limited driverless robotaxi service to the public in San Francisco. However, the company is now facing lawsuits from the city to limit its operations there after a series of accidents involving Cruise's vehicles.
