• General Motors (GM) has revived its robotaxi service, Cruise, in Houston, Texas. However, instead of fully autonomous vehicles, the service is currently using human drivers to operate the vehicles. This is a temporary measure as Cruise continues to develop and refine its self-driving technology.

• The decision to use human drivers in Houston is part of Cruise's strategy to gradually introduce its autonomous vehicle technology to new markets. By starting with human-driven vehicles, the company can gather valuable data and feedback from customers, while also ensuring a safe and reliable service.

• Cruise's robotaxi service in Houston is expected to expand in the coming months, with the company aiming to eventually transition to fully autonomous vehicles. This move is seen as an important step in the company's efforts to commercialize its self-driving technology and bring it to more cities across the United States.
