General Motors has produced 130 Chevrolet Bolt EV test cars with next generation self-driving technology at its Orion Assembly Plant in Michigan. The vehicles will be deployed in existing fleets in San Francisco, Scottsdale, and metro Detroit.

Equipped with LiDAR, cameras and sensors, General Motors is looking to accelerate development of a safe and reliable fully autonomous vehicle. “To achieve what we want from self-driving cars, we must deploy them at scale. By developing the next-generation self-driving platform in San Francisco and manufacturing these cars in Michigan, we are creating the safest and most consistent conditions to bring our cars to the most challenging urban roads that we can find,” Cruise Automation CEO Kyle Vogt said.
