Andrew Cuomo, Governor of New York, announced that GM would begin testing self-driving cars in the traffic-throttled streets of Manhattan early next year. The self-driving cars, based on the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, are run by Cruise Automation, a company bought by GM in 2016.

Cruise currently tests its modified Chevy Bolts in San Francisco, Detroit and Scottsdale, Arizona. At a conference sponsored by the Wall Street Journal, GM President Dan Ammann said "In a more complex environment, our cars can learn more quickly. Now we're taking that one step further. Manhattan is the most complex driving environment."
