Cruise rolls out Android app for robotaxi serviceAndroid phone users finally have access to Cruise’s robotaxi service, which is predominately in San Francisco as well as in Austin and Phoenix.
The self-driving unit under GM said Tuesday that it has developed an Android app to support its robotaxi service. The company tweeted that it has started onboarding Android users from its waitlist.
Cruise has a few tiers of service. Its commercial service, in which it charges a fee, operates from 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. in neighborhoods on the northwest side of San Francisco. Power users, a higher designation given to public riders who provide regular feedback to Cruise, have an expanded service area at night and can also use the robotaxis during the day. Some members of the public have been slowly added to that expanded area. Rides in that expanded area are currently free. And employees have access to Cruise’s service 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the city.
Cruise told TechCrunch that more than 20% of people on its waitlist are Android users. Adding an Android app was one of the most requested updates on social, Cruise added.
Cruise has made other improvements to its app, initially with iOS and now to Android, based on customer feedback. For instance, the company said users can now press and hold on a position on the map shown in the app. The feature allows a user drop a pin and move it around to where they want to go.

Superior Music Company signs Amy Douglas for PublishingIndependent music publishing company Superior Music Company welcomes New York City-based songwriter and LGTBQ pioneer Amy Douglas to a worldwide publishing administration deal.

Douglas’ incredible voice and stellar songwriting skills has made her dance music’s bonafide rock chick. Looking through the list of songwriters Douglas has collaborated with is like a list of dance music royalty, including Horse Meat Disco, Juan MacLean, Luke Solomon, Soul Clap, Low Steppa and more. Douglas’ songwriting and voice has been featured on releases on DFA and Glitterbox Records. 

Amy Douglas is also known for composing “Something More,” a standout track on Roisin Murphy’s most recent album and tour, as well as Douglas’ house music hit under her own name, “Never Saw It Coming.”

Douglas has a big personality to match her big voice. A true disco diva, she takes glitz and glam with her everywhere she goes, evident when she performed to thousands at New York City Pride in 2019. Douglas’ new collaborations include starting her own imprint Ladyballs Records with her creative partner Tim Wagner, and being a brand spokesperson for hip NYC shoe company Modern Vice. 

Says Superior Music Publishing founder Mara Kuge, “Amy’s smarts, songwriting talent and deep connections within the dance music world make her a perfect addition to the Superior  roster. We’re here to be her partners as she creates her upcoming hits, and we’re excited to hear and represent them.”

Adds Amy Douglas, “I am absolutely honored to join a family of such great songwriters with Superior Music Publishing, no less as a woman? It will never be lost on me that Superior is female helmed. It’s a great honor to be represented by the crème de la crème.”
