RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — After beginning a test in Charlotte last week, Cruise driverless robotaxi cars are coming to the Raleigh market for initial testing, officials said Tuesday. The testing in Raleigh starts Tuesday and comes exactly a week after a similar effort started in Charlotte on August 15, the company said. The efforts in the Raleigh area will be the “very first step in understanding Raleigh’s driving environment,” said Anna Haase, spokeswoman for Cruise. Just last week, Cruise agreed to cut its fleet of San Francisco robotaxis in half as authorities investigate two recent crashes in the city. Then, after testing as completely driverless cars, will any members of the public be riding in Cruise cars.
