Kyle Vogt, known for starting and leading the autonomous vehicle company Cruise, has left his position. This happened recently, as mentioned in an email to the company's employees. TechCrunch saw this email and reported on it.
GM's top leader, Mary Barra, in another email, said that Mo Elshenawy from Cruise will now be the president and chief technology officer. Craig Glidden, from Cruise's board and GM's legal and policy team, keeps his job as chief administrative officer. Jon McNeill, who has worked with Lyft and Tesla, is now the vice chairman of Cruise's board. He will work with Mary Barra, who is the chair of the board. A Cruise spokesperson confirmed these changes.
No CEO Yet Named
As of the latest updates, Cruise hasn't chosen a new CEO yet. This big change in the company's leaders comes shortly after a serious incident involving a Cruise self-driving car.
Challenges at Cruise
Morale at Cruise has been low since the October accident. Employees are unhappy about management and safety issues. The company stopped its driverless car services in other states and laid off some workers. This includes people who cleaned and maintained the cars and worked in customer support. More layoffs might happen at Cruise, which has about 4,000 full-time employees.
Recently, Cruise stopped a program that let employees sell their shares. This decision upset many workers. Over the weekend, Vogt announced a limited opportunity for employees to sell some shares. He apologized for the company's current situation.
Vogt's Journey with Cruise
Kyle Vogt and Dan Kan founded Cruise in 2013. They first worked on kits to make cars self-driving, then shifted their focus. General Motors bought Cruise in March 2016 for more than $1 billion. Before Cruise, Vogt co-founded Justin.tv, Twitch, and Socialcam. Twitch was sold to Amazon in 2014 for $970 million, and Socialcam to Autodesk for $60 million in 2012.
