CEO, co-founder of Cruise Kyle Vogt resigns from position

SAN FRANCISCO — The CEO of Cruise announced on Sunday he was stepping down from the role. 

"The last 10 years have been amazing, and I'm grateful to everyone who helped Cruise along the way," CEO and co-founder Kyle Vogt posted on X. "The startup I launched in my garage has given over 250,000 driverless rides across several cities, with each ride inspiring people with a small taste of the future."

Vogt's resignation comes less than a month after the autonomous car company paused its driverless robotaxi operations nationwide. The pause happened two days after the California DMV suspended its driverless testing permits in the state.
