San Francisco Giants replace Cruise self-driving car uniform patch with another GM brand

The San Francisco Giants baseball players will no longer have a uniform patch that advertises Cruise and its robotaxis.

The uniform patch change comes several months after San Francisco-based Cruise lost its commercial permit to operate robotaxis in the city following an October incident that left a pedestrian stuck under, and then dragged, by one of its self-driving cars. In the months since, Cruise co-founder and CEO Kyle Vogt resigned, 24% of its staff were laid off, the Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission have opened up investigations and GM has scrambled to put the company back on track with new leadership. “In keeping with our mission to provide safe, reliable, accessible transportation, Cruise remains invested in its shared commitment with the Giants to develop hundreds of electric vehicle chargers in ballpark parking facilities for event-goers and the public.”
