The transition announced Thursday comes as Cruise gears up to up introduce a ride-hailing service deploying its driverless technology in GM's Chevy Bolt next year. The service is supposed to debut at some point next year in a major U.S. city, with Cruise's home city of San Francisco considered to be among the top candidates.

Cruise and GM have steadfastly declined to provide further details about the ride-hailing service, which is expected to be the second in the U.S. to rely on fully autonomous vehicles that won't have a human behind the steering wheel to take control if the technology goes awry. Google spinoff Waymo has promised to launch a ride-hailing service with driverless vans in the Phoenix area within the next few weeks.
