"Cruise has taken a big step toward our vision of a safer, more sustainable and accessible transportation future.Together with General Motors, we have filed a petition seeking approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to build and put the Cruise Origin into commercial service," said Cruise's blog.
Cruise went on to note how it hoped to offer mobility options for people who have struggled with reliable transportation such as seniors and the blind.
