Marry Barra GM's CEO on electric vehicles

During her ten years as CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra has made big investments in software and driverless cars. At a 2021 trade show, Barra said, "At General Motors our vision for the future is a world with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. The key to unlock that vision is electrification." But it was her promise three years ago to stop selling gas-powered vehicles by 2035 – and GM's ability to live up to it – that will likely define her legacy. Asked if she anticipates GM will be all-electric by 2035, Barra replied, "For our light-duty vehicles, yes. We'll be guided by the consumer, but the plans that we have in place will get us there." Nonetheless, in the face of slowing EV sales, Barra said, "I don't think we ever thought it was gonna be linear. Wall Street darling Tesla still dominates the market with nearly half of the EVs on the road in the United States. But their market share is shrinking. And with nine all-electric cars and trucks currently available, and four more on the way, GM seems determined to catch up. Sunday Morning" was the first to drive GM's highly-anticipated and soon-to-be-released electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. Starting around $130,000, with a range of at least 460 miles per charge, it includes features like the semi-autonomous Super Cruise, which allows hands-free driving on many roads.
