Simulation at Scale: Inside GM’s AV Development
Aamir Ali explains how simulation helps GM develop and validate AV features faster and at scale.
Where Distinguished Engineers Shape Tech That Moves Millions
Lead what’s next.
Build the Road to Premium Autonomy
GM is making autonomy a reality through a clear, step-by-step progression: today’s hands-free Super Cruise experience, eyes-off driving and, ultimately, vehicles capable of handling all driving tasks. As GM evolves SC2 and looks toward the future vision of SC4 premium autonomy, Distinguished Engineers can help make that vision real by defining the architecture, safety systems and technical foundations needed to deliver trusted autonomy to millions of customers. This is an opportunity to shape what comes next in mobility.
