BREAKING: GM Commits to ‘an All-Electric Future’ and Shifts Corvette Engineers Over to its Autonomous and Electric Vehicles Programs
Effective September 1st, 2020, General Motors is transferring all members of the
Corvette engineering team to their autonomous and electric vehicles programs. And from what our insiders told us directly, the Corvette team is “not happy.” From what we can tell, the unhappiness is related to the team’s ever-expanding workload, a common experience for lots of employees across all industries in 2020 (assuming folks are lucky enough to still have a job). Others inside GM indicated that the team is excited to be developing new products.
CorvetteForum reached out to GM for a comment, and Ken Morris, Vice President of Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Programs, said, “General Motors is committed to an all-electric future. I’m excited to be putting the team that redefined supercar performance, design and attainability in key roles to help us integrate and execute our EVs to those same high standards.”
In other words, the C8 Corvette is a huge hit that “[delighted] customers and critics alike” and General Motors wants that spirit infused into their “all-electric future” commitments. The Corvette engineers have always been the Halo Team, and now they’ve been tasked with taking GM into the future.
