General Motors Doubles Down on AI and Advanced Driver Assistance, Cutting 1,000 Software Jobs
General Motors is cutting global software staff to focus resources on high-priority projects, such as optimizing the Super Cruise driver assistance system, enhancing infotainment platforms, and exploring applications of artificial intelligence to tackle software challenges and strengthen competitiveness. This move reflects the company's shift towards a software-defined vehicle strategy, pursuing technological innovation through increased efficiency and resource concentration. Recently, GM has faced software-related issues, including a pause in the sales of the new Blazer EV, prompting the company to adjust its strategy.
