DETROIT — Dan Ammann, CEO of General Motors' Cruise autonomous vehicle subsidiary, is leaving the Detroit company.
The leadership change comes just as Cruise is about to start a fully autonomous ride-hailing service without human safety drivers. GM product development chief Doug Parks said last week that commercial autonomous ride-hailing would start next year in San Francisco. When Ammann moved to Cruise, many analysts believed that GM was preparing for a public stock offering with the majority-owned subsidiary.
