Read MoreHide Full Article
General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) has announced that it teamed up with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC - Free Report) to pursue the common objective of transforming mobility by rapidly developing autonomous vehicle technology. Japanese auto giant Honda will work closely with General Motors’ autonomous vehicle unit, General Motors Cruise Holdings, to develop autonomous vehicle for Cruise that can be manufactured in large numbers for global deployment. Additionally, the companies plan to explore global opportunities for commercial deployment of Cruise network.
Honda, which is lagging behind many of its rivals that are also developing self-driving technology, is likely to invest $2.75 billion and hold 5.7% stake in Cruise. Honda is contributing $750 million upfront for the equity stake in Cruise and is going to pay another $2 billion over the span of 12 years for development initiatives.
