DETROIT -- To accelerate efforts to get self-driving vehicle technology on the road, General Motors is creating a team to focus on autonomous vehicles starting on Monday..
The dedicated team is being formed under Doug Parks, who will shift from vice president of global product programs to the new position of vice president of autonomous technology and vehicle execution. Parks reports to Mark Reuss, head of global product development.
The new Autonomous and Technology Vehicle Development Team will recruit from across GM with a mandate to map out a strategy that includes engineering as well as identifying investments and partnerships to ensure leadership in self-driving technology.
It signals GM's move from viewing autonomous driving as a research project to a product under development. The automaker has advanced technology on the road now and next year will add the Super Cruise system in the new Cadillac CT6 that lets you take your hands off the wheel and cruise.
