General Motors Co. says it has built 130 self-driving Chevrolet Bolt electric cars at a factory in suburban Detroit, making it among the first automakers to mass produce self-driving vehicles. The automaker has been building self-driving Bolts at its Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, Michigan, since January. Once they rolled off the line, the self-driving Bolts went to another area of the plant to get computers, sensors and other hardware installed. GM CEO Mary Barra wouldn’t say on Tuesday if the company plans to make more self-driving Bolts. GM eventually plans to place self-driving Bolts in ride-hailing fleets in major US cities.
