GM president Mark Reuss talks with WIRED about how to sell EVs, his optimism for robot cars, and why the company shifted more of its supply chain back to the US.
I’m not sure I’m going to suddenly have a retail vehicle that doesn’t have steering wheels and pedals in it, but we do think about that. It is our responsibility. I don’t see autonomous vehicles taking over and changing, widely, the distribution of people; I see them solving the problems of safety and congestion and emissions first, and then maybe someday that happens. Cities are built around where people live and work, and I just don’t see that changing overnight.
that’s being investigated by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. How do you create a positive safety culture at Cruise? First of all, everything’s monitored. There are no big mysteries on what’s happening there. Without getting into the detail of that one incident, I would say everything can always be better. We’re driving these cars, and these cars are driving themselves, in a human environment. I’ll take a complaint like, “It took me a little longer to get there than it may have under other circumstances, but it took the safest route, and it managed the interfaces with human drivers better than what I thought.
I’d also say, the culture in GM on safety is very different than it was five years ago, 10 years ago. We have a system in place that looks at data every day from our fleet; I don’t care what kind of car it is. If we think this is something that could happen again, we’ll do a very deep statistical analysis on what the problem is, the surroundings, the circumstances. There’s a formal forum that happens every week. And we’ll make the decisions.
