Cruise seems to operate like it has an unlimited reserve of money. They also have a bit of a broculture. They are hiring like wildfire.

All self driving tech is in its early days to call it “self - driving”. So it will be interesting to see how the future pans out.

May be you can indeed keep on throwing ridiculous amounts of money and something and make it work. May be not.
