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]

Request: Change article title from "Cruise Automation" to "Cruise (company)"

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.

An impartial editor has reviewed the proposed edit(s) and asked the editor with a conflict of interest to go ahead and make the suggested changes.

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:

• Adding to infobox:

| num_employees = 1800^[1]

| num_employees_year = 2020

• Adding to "History":

Cruise raised an additional $1.15 billion in new equity in May 2019, bringing its total valuation to $19 billion.[2][3]

• In "Testing and development", deleting:

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 "Testing and development", adding:

In January 2020, the company showcased the Cruise Origin, 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]

Thank you both! I've made the updates, swapping in "exhibited" as directed. Mary Gaulke (talk) 15:12, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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]

• "Scarlet" | 7LRW694 | Jun 2015
• "Quicksilver" | 6UZM026 | Jul 2015

2016 Nissan Leaf^[3]

• "Ironman" | 7PFK602 | Jan 2016
• "Gargoyle" | 7PFK600 | Mar 2016
• "Storm" | 7PFK939 | Apr 2016

2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV (G1)^[3][4]

2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV (G2)^[4]

This is trivia to the nth degree.Greglocock (talk) 02:50, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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]
