Cruise will dispatch some of its trouble-ridden robotaxis to join Uber's ride-hailing service
Cruise’s trouble-ridden robotaxis are on the road to joining Uber’s ride-hailing service next year as part of a multiyear partnership bringing together two companies that once appeared poised to compete for passengers.
