Cruise
- Cruise is launching in Houston and Dallas.
- The robotaxi service started testing in Austin at the end of last year.
- Cruise's expansion is the latest blow to Tesla as it relies more on autonomy to drive profits.
Robotaxi startup Cruise is gearing up to take up more space in Tesla's backyard.
Kyle Vogt, CEO of the General Motors-backed autonomous vehicle startup, tweeted this week that Cruise would begin supervised autonomous driving in Houston in a few days, followed by an expansion to Dallas. After the testing period, Cruise plans to give customers access to the driverless rides.
