Cruise has been making moves in the past year to build out the company and start generating revenue. Last month, the company\u00a0acquired\u00a0autonomous-vehicle startup Voyage, which offers self-driving car services in retirement communities, for an undisclosed sum. The deal got Cruise 60 engineers and scientists and a preserve in Florida, where AV rules are less restrictive.\n<\/p>\n
The company\u00a0hired\u00a0former Delta Air Lines Inc. executive Gil West as chief operating officer in January and cut a deal with Walmart Inc. to\u00a0team up\u00a0on driverless delivery of goods.\n<\/p>\n
