(WXMI) — General Motors (GM) announced it is laying off 900 workers at Cruise, the company’s self-driving unit.
Those layoffs will impact around 24% of its workforce.
It’s part of GM’s plan to revitalize the business while reducing costs, according to Tech Crunch.
The news comes after a pedestrian was hit and dragged by a robo taxi earlier this fall. The incident left them with serious injuries.
The layoffs will reportedly target non-engineers mostly working in the field, corporate staffing and commercial management.
Nine of the unit’s leaders were let go Wednesday.
