Talk:Cruise (autonomous vehicle)

Change to Cruise Origin section
Hey everyone, I added a sentence to the end of the Cruise Origin section about Cruise's recent partnership with Honda as my first Wikipedia edit. I also added a reference. Please let me know if I missed anything! Helpmeimnew (talk) 21:07, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Origin
To document the early stages of Cruise, I will upload city records of Kyle Vogt's purchase of 54 Gilbert Street San Francisco CA in September 2013. Kyle Vogt rented the property months before the purchase. I will also upload a picture taken in July of 2013 of the inside of the garage showing Kyle's Audi being modified for self driving capability. 32174168Z (talk) 00:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

From the article: " at the intersection of Gough and Fulton near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco".....the intersection is here: osm.org/go/TZHvRtEFE--?m= .....in my eyes not so near to the park.... --79.206.204.48 (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
