General Motors has turned into the Sterling Anderson pound, veteran in the industry of independent vehicles, to oversee its entire production line of gas and electricity -powered cars, in a newly created job that will touch almost every department in the American auto industry company.

His resignation, which includes the Aurora Panel, came only one week after the company’s launch Self -driving truck service In Texas.

Anderson told Techcrunch that he did not expect Aurora to leave, but the more conversations he had with the leadership of General Motors, including the president and CEO Mary Para, the more likely we can do there. “

“The scope of what we will do in General Motors is wide,” he indicated in an interview with him recently. “It is the ability to influence millions of people’s lives for the better, including only magic experiences in their cars that also improve the safety and effectiveness of our roads.”

The sterling pound brings contracts for driving in auto engineering and creating software for its new role and is the appropriate leader in continuing to continue driving now and in the future.”

Anderson said that there is a “very long list of things” that is better interested in it. However, the shareholders of General Motors, customers and employees should not be expected to leave the company’s current path.

He pointed out that all areas of interest are in line with the vision that Barra has set, such as the need for rapid repetition and vehicle platforms of knowledge from programs that provide customers with services and updates for the car during her life.
