FROM VISION TO MOBILITY TRANSFORMATION
ENGINEERING THE FUTURE
GM's technology engine integrates hardware, software, AI, and
connectivity to create intelligent vehicles. This strategy spans from
proprietary battery chemistry to over-the-air software updates and
software-defined vehicle architectures.
AUTONOMY & CAPITAL DISCIPLINE
Following a strategic shift in late 2024, GM refocused autonomous
efforts toward
personal vehicles
. By integrating Cruise's technical
expertise directly into GM’s core engineering, the company aims to
deliver autonomous safety at global scale.
