Under his leadership and that of his co-founder Dan Kahn, Cruise has created the world's first all-electric fleet of self-driving cars, which are currently being tested on public roads in U.S. cities. His interest in self-driving car technology began at an early age when he competed in Battlebots, and by the age of 14 he had built his first prototype self-driving car from a Power Wheels car.
