SAN FRANCISCO — General Motors is facing a U.S. Justice Department investigation into a collision that critically injured a pedestrian and derailed its self-driving car ambitions.

General Motors Co. missed its goal of producing 150,000 electric vehicles last year, with about half of them being new models built using its Ultium battery pack, by a significant margin.

General Motors Co. said in a lawsuit that San Francisco unfairly taxed it $108 million over seven years, despite the automaker having very low sales and almost no personnel in the city.

Automotive giant General Motors is to team up with Birmingham, Ala-based Autocar Industries to develop a range of hydrogen fuel cell-powered heavy-duty vocational trucks, the companies said.

General Motors Co.’s pledge to have an all-electric fleet by 2035 hinges on consumer acceptance, Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra said.

Cruise, the self-driving vehicle unit of General Motors, could face a fine for allegedly misleading regulators about an incident in which one of its cars dragged a pedestrian.

General Motors says pretax earnings took a $1.1 billion hit due to production lost during the UAW's strike, but the company expects to absorb the new contract's costs and raised its dividend.

Kyle Vogt has resigned as CEO of Cruise, General Motors’ autonomous vehicle unit, as questions build about the safety of self-driving cars.

BrightDrop, a General Motors Co. commercial electric vehicle startup formed in 2021, no longer will operate as a subsidiary and is now becoming part of GM, the automaker said Nov. 16.

United Auto Workers union members have voted to approve a new contract with General Motors, making GM the first Detroit automaker to ratify a deal to end a labor dispute and crippling strikes.
