General Motors Company shares were up 2.10% at the close yesterday on trading volume more than twice as high as usual on the news that the company has partnered with Honda for large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicle technology. According to Honda's press release, Honda will be working with Cruise and General Motors to fund and develop a purpose-built autonomous vehicle for Cruise. This is the logical next step in General Motors and Honda's relationship, given our joint work on electric vehicles, and our close integration with Cruise," said General Motors Chairman and CEO Mary Barra. "Together, we can provide Cruise with the world's best design, engineering and manufacturing expertise, and global reach to establish them as the leader in autonomous vehicle technology – while they move to deploy self-driving vehicles at scale." Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt remarked, "With the backing of General Motors, SoftBank and now Honda, Cruise is deeply resourced to accomplish our mission to safely deploy autonomous technology across the globe. The Honda partnership paves the way for massive scale by bringing a beautiful, efficient, and purpose-built vehicle to our network of shared autonomous vehicles."
