通用汽車，巡航和電動汽車：新路線圖

通用汽車正在將新的生命呼喚到其EV和自動駕駛策略中。了解Cruise Tech如何在超級巡航和其他地區找到新的目的。

GM, Cruise, and EVs: A New Road Map

通用汽車，巡航和電動汽車：新路線圖

After a safety setback, GM is recalibrating its EV and autonomous driving strategies, focusing on practical applications and leveraging Cruise technology for enhanced driver-assistance systems.

在安全挫折之後，通用汽車正在重新校准其EV和自動駕駛策略，重點是實用應用，並利用郵輪技術來增強駕駛員輔助系統。

Safety Setback Spurs Strategic Realignment

安全挫折馬刺戰略重組

Following a high-profile incident in San Francisco, GM has been forced to rethink its approach to autonomous vehicles. The Cruise shutdown, triggered by safety concerns, led to a significant reassessment of the company's innovation roadmap. CEO Mary Barra acknowledged that the robotaxi venture had become too costly and a distraction from GM's core business goals. With over $8 billion invested in Cruise since 2016, the project became one of GM's most expensive moonshots.

在舊金山發生備受矚目的事件之後，通用汽車被迫重新考慮其自動駕駛汽車的方法。由安全問題引發的巡航關閉導致對公司的創新路線圖進行了重大重新評估。首席執行官瑪麗·巴拉（Mary Barra）承認，Robotaxi Venture變得過於昂貴，並分散了通用汽車的核心業務目標。自2016年以來，該項目憑藉超過80億美元的投資於Cruise，成為了通用汽車最昂貴的月球之一。

Cruise Tech Finds New Purpose in Super Cruise

郵輪技術在超級巡遊中找到了新的目的

Rather than abandoning its investment altogether, GM is now channeling Cruise's technological advancements into Super Cruise, its premium hands-free driving system. Already available in some GM models, Super Cruise covers over 400,000 miles of compatible roads and is used by roughly 60 percent of drivers whose vehicles are equipped with it. The repurposed Cruise fleet will help GM refine the system's capabilities, potentially making it more competitive with rivals like Tesla's Autopilot or Ford's BlueCruise.

通用汽車現在並沒有完全放棄投資，而是將Cruise的技術進步引入了Super Cruise，這是其優質的免提駕駛系統。 Super Cruise已經在某些GM型號中銷售，覆蓋了40萬英里的兼容道路，大約60％的車輛配備了它的駕駛員。重新利用的巡航隊將有助於通用汽車提高系統的功能，從而使其與特斯拉的自動駕駛儀或福特的Bluecruise等競爭對手更具競爭力。

GM Quietly Restarts Cruise Testing with Bolt EVs

通用汽車悄然重新啟動使用螺栓電動汽車的巡航測試

General Motors is breathing new life into its once-promising Cruise autonomous vehicle unit by repurposing its electric fleet for internal testing. After halting Cruise operations in December 2023, GM has quietly restarted trials with a limited number of Cruise Bolt EVs on highways in Michigan, Texas, and California’s Bay Area. These vehicles, previously intended for robotaxi deployment, are now part of a scaled-down initiative aimed at enhancing GM’s driver-assistance systems, particularly its Super Cruise technology.

通用汽車通過重新利用其電動艦隊進行內部測試，將新的生命呼吸到其曾經主張的巡航自動駕駛汽車單元。在2023年12月停止巡航行動後，通用汽車在密歇根州，德克薩斯州和加利福尼亞州灣區的高速公路上悄悄重新開始試驗，而巡航博爾特電動汽車數量有限。這些車輛以前旨在用於Robotaxi部署，現在是一項旨在增強通用汽車駕駛員輔助系統的縮放計劃的一部分，尤其是其超級巡航技術。

EV Purchases with Crypto

使用加密貨幣

In other news, Mullen Automotive has begun accepting Bitcoin and TRUMP meme coin as payments for its electric vehicles, joining companies like Ferrari and BMW in embracing cryptocurrency as a payment method. While Tesla currently accepts Dogecoin for merchandise, the reinstatement of Bitcoin payments for EVs remains a topic of speculation.

在其他新聞中，穆倫汽車已經開始接受比特幣和特朗普模因硬幣作為其電動汽車的付款，並加入了法拉利和寶馬等公司，將加密貨幣作為付款方式接受。儘管特斯拉目前接受狗狗幣的商品，但恢復比特幣支付的電動汽車仍然是一個猜測的話題。

From Futurama to Reality Check

從Futurama到現實檢查

GM’s fascination with autonomous driving goes back nearly a century, famously showcased in its 1939 Futurama exhibit that imagined automated highways. Today’s scaled-back ambitions echo a familiar cycle in tech development: from high-flying dreams to grounded implementations. The future of mobility might not be fully autonomous, but it's still moving forward.

通用汽車對自動駕駛的迷戀可以追溯到近一個世紀，在1939年的Futurama展覽中著名地展示了自動化的高速公路。今天的擴大野心與技術發展中的一個熟悉的周期相呼應：從高空夢想到紮根的實施。移動性的未來可能不是完全自主的，但仍在前進。
