General Motors has announced that Dan Ammann, Chief Executive Officer of its Cruise unit – which specializes in autonomous drive technologies – is leaving the company. Kyle Vogt, Cruise President and Chief Technical Officer, will serve as interim CEO. In addition, Wesley Bush, the former Chairman and CEO of Northrop Grumman and a GM board member, will join the Cruise Board. Alongside the leadership change, GM says it will accelerate the strategy the company detailed in its recent Investor Day, in which Cruise will play an integral role in building GM's autonomous vehicle (AV) platform as GM 'aggressively pursues addressable AV markets beyond rideshare and delivery'. It is unclear what the next steps for Amman are, but media reports say he is leaving Cruise to pursue other opportunities.
