GM hires self-driving company leader as chief product officer
By Kalea Hall
DETROIT, May 12 (Reuters) - General Motors GM.N has hired Sterling Anderson, co-founder of self-driving trucking company Aurora, as its executive vice president of global product, the company said Monday.
The leader in autonomous vehicle technology, who will report to GM President Mark Reuss when he joins GM on June 2, will also be chief product officer and oversee product lifecycle for both gas and electric vehicles. He will be based at the Detroit automaker's Mountain View Tech Center in California.
Anderson co-founded Aurora in 2017 and before that worked at Tesla TSLA.O, leading the Model X program and the Tesla Autopilot team.
Anderson is leaving Aurora, where he was chief product officer, after the company's recent commercial launch of its fully driverless trucking service in Texas.
He joins GM as it shifts its focus from the autonomous robotaxi to autonomy in personal vehicles. GM is working to increase use of its Super Cruise hands-free driving systems after ending its multi-billion-dollar-losing robotaxi business Cruise, which focused on self-driving vehicles hailed by an app.
