The Cruise Origin vehicle was jointly developed by GM, Cruise and Honda.
The move comes after Cruise, the driverless car unit of General Motors, suspended all operations nationwide after California regulators ordered the robotaxi operator to remove its driverless cars from state roads.
California regulators suspended the company's license to operate driverless vehicles last month, saying self-driving vehicles were a risk to the public.
