It's currently unclear if this partnership will operate in Austin as Cruise has not yet resumed operations here.
The company temporarily paused operations across Texas last October following a crash and reports of cars malfunctioning.
As of June, Cruise resumed supervised autonomous driving in Phoenix, Houston and Dallas, in addition to ongoing testing in Dubai.
