Cruise has been testing autonomous vehicles in Houston for over a year. It will be available for customers starting this week.
“The most important thing is, this is a safer way to get around than driving in your vehicle,” Sola Lawal, general manager of Cruise’s Houston operation, told KHOU 11 News.
During the testing phase, residents and the City of Houston reported issues the vehicles have caused in traffic. So when a Cruise car stops permanently on Montrose Blvd and 2 squad cars and 4 officers respond, who pays for that?Houston police were called in to direct traffic, but the AV wasn’t responding, according to witnesses. A Cruise spokesperson said the vehicles cleared the intersection autonomously within four minutes. Similar issues were reported
“We are learning and improving the way most drivers honestly should be, we take that feedback into consideration when we improve the service, but it is a service that works really well,” Lawal said.According to the City, Cruise and Nuro are the only two AV operators that have plans to operate in Houston.
