GM to make Origin at D-Ham after pickup

DETROIT -- General Motors will start making the Cruise Origin autonomous shuttle shortly after it starts making an all-electric pickup at the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant late this year.

The company announced the production plan Monday morning as part of the company’s $2.2 billion investment in the factory, which had been slated for closure prior to last year’s negotiations with the UAW. 

Cruise, based in San Francisco, showed the Origin for the first time last week. But the company’s first autonomous ride-hailing offerings will use the Chevrolet Bolt-based third-generation autonomous vehicle, which still has a steering wheel and brake pedals.
