GM Cruise will see its chief technology officer, A.G. Gangadhar, leave the company after less than a year, Bloomberg reported last Wednesday.
The executive had been one of the more controversial hires at Cruise after he was involved in allegations at his former employer, Uber, claiming he fostered a foul office culture, specifically with women. Gangadhar said he was leaving Cruise on good terms and cited disagreements with CEO Kyle Vogt for his departure.
Gangadhar was cleared of any wrongdoing at Uber, and a source told Bloomberg the rate of female hires increased under the ex-CTO. This included a “seasoned woman executive,” which the former Cruise executive said is “no small feat.”
Cruise Automation has been working to catch up to Alphabet’s Waymo division, and the GM subsidiary plans to roll out commercialized self-driving cars next year. The plans remain in place following news a self-driving Uber vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Arizona.

“Cruise Automation has been working to catch up to Alphabet’s Waymo division”. How can that be true? I have read and seen pictures about the new Chevy Bolt EVs which were produced without driver controls, and seen their fantastic self-driving videos. Where is Waymo and what is it doing?
Article needs to state A.G. was “cleared of any wrongdoing at Uber” under the previously outed CEO during the foul culture…There is overwhelming evidence that states otherwise from multiple women. The first woman to expose him has screenshot from her first day at Uber stating…I suppose this comment will get deleted even if the article isn’t updated…
The first woman who “exposed” Gangadhar at Uber has verified not-photoshopped computer screenshots with his IM exchange from her first day where her first IM interaction with him he just tells her he and his wife have an open arrangement to sleep with other people, that he’s looking for women to sleep with and asked if she knew anyone. She immediately printed this and went to HR where the previous frat-boy culture protected men. She claims she met many other women where he was far more aggressive including touching but with limited evidence.
If you like GM, do you want employees IMing new hires asking if they knew anyone to sleep with? It’s just plain lazy, a personality trait to carries over to all his work including at GM…
So this is a great way here for us.
