Warning. Things get fast very quickly. Watch the Corvette ZR1 stretch its legs and show what it’s made of.

Don't forget that there is more to Saturday than college football. It's also Veterans Day. Here's my tribute to our veterans.#VeteransDay #VeteransDay2023 #leadership

My muse kicked me out of my slumber and back to the typewriter/computer thingamajig. Here's what I have to say about using quotes that famous people never uttered. https://t.co/WqFoXQSNwK

@HolstaT @HolstaT Thank you for sharing this perspective. I completely agree. I rated Pinocchio as my overall favorite movie of 2022, following by Puss in Boots. I love animation but found both movies to have more soul and plenty of action than live action films.

Kudos to the @Cruise team for this great milestone. It's fun to see the @GM Orion Assembly-built Cruise AVs in daylight! #Iworkforgm

Today @Cruise launched *daytime* driverless rides. Service is live for Cruisers and will launch to the public soon.

First ride was this morning around 8:30 am:

@JoAnn_Jenkins @AARP @wishofalifetime @GM As an @AARP member, it was a pleasure being able to host Robbie, his daughter and the @wishofalifetime from @AARP at the @GM Orion Assembly plant.

“It’s not just a pipe dream anymore. This is it. It’s electric!” With @WishofaLifetime from @AARP and @GM, retired engineer Robbie Robinson had the chance to tour an electric vehicle plant — a live look at technological advancements he never thought he'd get to see.

[Scott Frisch @scott_frisch]

Robbie Robinson once converted his own hybrid car into an electric plug-in. Now, 16 years later, the retired engineer had the chance to tour a @GM electric vehicle plant with @WishofaLifetime from @AARP – recharging his optimism for the future. His story: https://t.co/mlOIN021Fy

A driverless @Cruise AV (named Lemur) was dangerously cut off by another driver but managed to avoid a collision.

Lemur went from 24mph to zero in ~10m with nearly instant reaction time. Based on the physics here, it's unlikely many of us could do the same.

Orion Assembly recently welcomed local educators and community leaders for a plant tour and discussion on #STEM programming and how we can collaborate to prepare the next-generation of #mfg professionals.

[General Motors Manufacturing @MFG_GM]

Recently, our award-winning #mfg teams were recognized by the Manufacturing Leadership Council as high achievers for the innovative engineering & production tech at Factory ZERO – a key competitive advantage to getting #EVerybodyIn an #EV!

[Kyle Vogt @kvogt]

Last night we collected our first fares from driverless robotaxi rides - a first in any major US city.

Next up: bigger fleet, larger service area, more fun

[Mary Barra @mtbarra]

Today @Cruise is officially going commercial in San Francisco. What a huge milestone for #AV technology that will improve life in our cities – congrats to the entire team! https://t.co/39SybWvXnw

7) While that stuff matters, let’s not forget WE ARE LIVING IN THE FUTURE. The moment when a car shows up with nobody inside is magic - and we hope it will become a regular part of your life soon.

6) Once a business is profitable, it’s easier to scale. And scale is critical, since self-driving can save lives, free up time, and reduce emissions. So the more people who have it, the better.
