Dec. 14 (UPI) — On Thursday, the GM-owned Cruise driverless taxi startup told its employees in an email and blog post that 24% of full-time Cruise workers will be laid off. “Today, we are making staff reductions that will affect 24% of full-time Cruisers, through no fault of their own,” the company said in a blog post on its website. “We are simplifying and focusing our efforts to return with an exceptional service in one city to start with and focusing on the Bolt platform for this first step before we scale. As a result, we are reducing our employee counts in operations and other areas.” Advertisement
GM said in the post that laid off workers will get pay through April 8, “plus continued subsidized health benefits, RSU vesting, the January 5 bonus, and additional immigration support for those holding work visas” will continue to be factors.
“We know there’s no ‘good’ way to lay off employees, but treating people fairly on their way out was a key principle that guided our approach, and our top priority was determining how we could provide a strong severance package, while treating departing Cruisers with respect,” the company said.

Laid-off workers will stay on payroll until Feb. 12 and are eligible for an additional 8 weeks of pay, with long-time workers being offered an additional 2 weeks’ pay for every year at Cruise over three years.
In November, the GM-owned Cruise recalled all of its 950 self-driving systems after one vehicle dragged a pedestrian struck by another car.
That followed California’s suspension of Cruise’s permit to operate driverless vehicles in October.
Cruise stopped its driverless taxi operations across all its fleets right after that “to rebuild public trust” after losing the ability to operate in California.
“As a result of our decision to slow down commercialization, we are restructuring to focus on delivering the improvements to our tech and vehicle performance that will build trust in our AVs,” the Cruise post said.

Dispositivos de calibración: esencial para el desempeño uniforme y productivo de las máquinas.
En el campo de la tecnología avanzada, donde la productividad y la fiabilidad del aparato son de gran importancia, los dispositivos de equilibrado cumplen un papel crucial. Estos aparatos adaptados están desarrollados para balancear y estabilizar piezas dinámicas, ya sea en maquinaria industrial, transportes de desplazamiento o incluso en dispositivos de uso diario.
Para los especialistas en mantenimiento de aparatos y los ingenieros, utilizar con aparatos de balanceo es importante para garantizar el operación uniforme y confiable de cualquier mecanismo móvil. Gracias a estas opciones avanzadas sofisticadas, es posible disminuir considerablemente las movimientos, el ruido y la carga sobre los sujeciones, mejorando la longevidad de componentes caros.
Asimismo trascendental es el rol que tienen los dispositivos de equilibrado en la soporte al usuario. El apoyo experto y el soporte permanente utilizando estos sistemas permiten ofrecer servicios de gran estándar, aumentando la agrado de los consumidores.
Para los dueños de proyectos, la contribución en estaciones de ajuste y medidores puede ser clave para aumentar la efectividad y desempeño de sus equipos. Esto es particularmente trascendental para los inversores que dirigen medianas y pequeñas negocios, donde cada punto es relevante.
También, los aparatos de balanceo tienen una gran aplicación en el área de la prevención y el monitoreo de nivel. Posibilitan detectar probables fallos, previniendo reparaciones onerosas y problemas a los sistemas. También, los información recopilados de estos equipos pueden usarse para maximizar procedimientos y potenciar la exposición en motores de consulta.
Las zonas de utilización de los sistemas de calibración abarcan variadas ramas, desde la manufactura de vehículos de dos ruedas hasta el monitoreo ambiental. No importa si se trata de enormes manufacturas productivas o modestos locales domésticos, los dispositivos de calibración son esenciales para asegurar un funcionamiento óptimo y sin paradas.
