Driving Cities—and Technology—Forward
Cruise is a self-driving car company committed to developing autonomous vehicle technology. Founded in San Francisco in 2013 and majority-owned by General Motors (GM) since 2016, Cruise has expanded rapidly across the country. Cruise engaged Teladata as an experienced and agile workplace technology partner responsible for implementing its new San Francisco headquarters’ data and server room needs.
Teladata pivoted as needed to accommodate the rapidly evolving technology as Cruise grew. Teladata team was instrumental in helping develop a new set of technology standards for its corporate and production facilities. To date, Teladata and Cruise have completed over 70 projects together.
Cruise’s offices and ever-increasing employee roster required the best in IT infrastructure, security, audiovisual, and wireless technology. Using the standards created for Cruise’s headquarters, Teladata was a seamless single point of contact technology implementation partner for Cruise’s office spaces across the country.
The production side of the business called for large, interconnected spaces to park and charge vehicles, perform maintenance, and download the wealth of information gathered on the road. Teladata assisted as a full-service consultant, overseeing the research, design, and technology implementation of smart parking lots, garages, and warehouses. In Arizona, Texas, Washington, New York, and more, Teladata outfitted Cruise’s facilities with the high-end security technology, wireless connectivity, mobile data centers, and server rooms necessary to compete in an increasingly crowded and fast-paced market.
Whenever a vehicle parked at a Cruise destination, it offloaded its data onto a Cruise server. Teladata was essential in designing and overseeing the implementation of IT Infrastructure that supported Cruise’s data management.
While self-driving technology has yet to be perfected, it is continually improving, and with the advance of artificial intelligence (AI), the industry is positioned for exponential growth Teladata is proud to have supported Cruise’s technology implementation needs throughout its journey from startup to enterprise and will continue to be its trusted partner in the years to come.
