Honda has decided to end its involvement in a robotaxi joint venture with General Motors (GM) and Cruise in Japan. The partnership between Honda, GM, and Cruise initially aimed to introduce a robotaxi service in Tokyo by 2026, leveraging Cruise’s custom-built robotaxi model, The Origin. This development marks a pivot in Honda’s and GM’s autonomous vehicle strategies, with Honda steering away from robotaxi ventures and GM consolidating its efforts to develop personal AVs under one roof.
