Change to Cruise Origin section[edit]

Hey everyone, I added a sentence to the end of the Cruise Origin section about Cruise's recent partnership with Honda as my first Wikipedia edit. I also added a reference. Please let me know if I missed anything! Helpmeimnew (talk) 21:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because I am currently working on getting the content up! Sorry for this inconvenience.

COI edit requests[edit]

Hi! COI editor for Cruise here. (GM is a client of Fleishman Hillard, a sister agency of my employer, Porter Novelli.) Requesting some edits to this article:

| num_employees = 1800[1]
| num_employees_year = 2020
Cruise raised an additional $1.15 billion in new equity in May 2019, bringing its total valuation to $19 billion.[2][3]
CEO Kyle Vogt has stated that commercial deployment will occur via a ride-sharing service platform,[4] but what platform remains unknown.
(Seems to me that a YouTube video of the CEO is a subpar source, and I think the paragraph below provides alternative specifics.)
In January 2020, the company showcased the Cruise Origin, a Level 4–5 driverless vehicle,[5] intended to be used for a ride hailing service.[6] The Origin is purpose-built as a self-driving vehicle, rather than retrofitted from a non-autonomous vehicle, and contains no manual steering controls.[7] Costing approximately $50,000 to manufacture at scale,[8] the vehicle is all-electric and designed to have a one-million-mile lifespan.[9] Cruise announced that future Origin vehicles would be manufactured at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant.[10][11]
In October 2020, the California Department of Motor Vehicles gave Cruise a permit to test fully driverless vehicles.[12] Cruise began testing vehicles without a human safety driver present on the streets of San Francisco in December 2020.[13]

I appreciate your time and feedback. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:10, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MaryGaulke:I've changed the flag to proceed per Greclocock's approval above, but please replace the word "showcased" with "exhibited" per WP:PEACOCK. Thank you! Orvilletalk 07:50, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both! I've made the updates, swapping in "exhibited" as directed. Mary Gaulke (talk) 15:12, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cruise vehicle names[edit]

Cruise names its AVs to distinguish them in the garage,[1] although there is little secondary coverage.[2] The 2016 and 2017 California disengagement reports provide the following names, license plates, and dates when they were first tested:

2012 Nissan Leaf[3]
2016 Nissan Leaf[3]
2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV (G1)[3][4]
2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV (G2)[4]

Origin[edit]

To document the early stages of Cruise, I will upload city records of Kyle Vogt's purchase of 54 Gilbert Street San Francisco CA in September 2013. Kyle Vogt rented the property months before the purchase. I will also upload a picture taken in July of 2013 of the inside of the garage showing Kyle's Audi being modified for self driving capability. 32174168Z (talk) 00:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is "near"?![edit]

From the article: " at the intersection of Gough and Fulton near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco".....the intersection is here: osm.org/go/TZHvRtEFE--?m= .....in my eyes not so near to the park.... --79.206.204.48 (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
