GM's Purchase of Cruise Automation Fuels Interest in Self-driving Car Kits

Most car companies are remaking themselves into tech startups as they move toward offering fully autonomous self-driving vehicles. Yet thousands of tractors already use self-driving kits as do hundreds of tugs, lifts and trucks. Self-driving aftermarket kits are beginning to be offered in multiple markets. Cruise Automation just got acquired by GM for 1 billion. Up until now Cruise was known as the developer of a 16,000 aftermarket kit to turn select cars into self-driving cars.
