Mary Barra's Vision for GM: Electric Vehicles and Self-Driving Cars

Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors (GM), set big goals for the company in terms of electric vehicles (EVs) and self-driving cars. GM aims to provide electrification and mainstream customer acceptance. While there have been some challenges and frustrations in execution, GM has made progress in these areas. Barra's focus on the core car-making business has resulted in improved quality, market share, and profitability. Additionally, she has made bold moves, such as canceling plans for a gas-guzzling Cadillac and reallocating resources to prioritize EV production. However, setbacks like the Chevy Bolt recall and competition from Tesla and Ford have posed challenges. Barra remains optimistic and believes that GM is well-positioned to be a major player in the EV and autonomous vehicle transitions.
