General Motors has announced the creation of a new team specifically for self-driving and electric vehicles.
The move follows announcements such as the $500 million being invested into Lyft for a future fleet of anonymous vehicles, and the automaker’s personal mobility brand, Maven.
Doug Parks, GM’s vice president for global product programs, was named vice president for autonomous technology and vehicle execution, as of Feb. 1. Parks will report to Mark Reuss, head of global product development, and oversee the team.
Parks’ goal will be to develop new electrical and battery systems to implement into road-going vehicles. The team will also develop advanced software for autonomous driving applications, too.
Sheri Hickok was named executive chief engineer for “autonomous joint ventures and fleet execution,” the automaker said. Currently, Hickok is chief engineer for the next generation of GMC and Chevrolet pickups.
Additionally, Pam Fletcher, GM’s executive chief engineer for electric vehicles, will take on new responsibilities with the team’s programs.

If you enjoy driving and i do, why in the world would anyone want a self driving car?
I know of only one reason and i will unfortunatly be there some day i am told by my neuro sugeons. I will be in a wheelchair but i still would not want a self drinen car. Driving my Z06 keeps me alive literally. When i can not drive my vette it is time to go because there is NOTHING better than getting out and driving. The freedom of the road is as good as my other freedoms in the good ole USA. like the commercial of old, “see the usa in your chevrolet”, Z06 Corvette, a life saver it just would not be fun not able to drive myself.
