Interviewed at Cruise, looks like it was focused on autonomous vehicle fundamentals. Not a lot of detail to go on but the core question was pretty technical.
  • How do autonomous vehicles work?

“Broad question and I kind of froze for a second trying to figure out where to even start.”

Cruise·Product Manager·Onsite - Product Sense / Strategy

Jun 2026
Interviewed at Cruise for a product role and got hit with a redesign question that was way more open-ended than I expected. Autonomous vehicles are a different beast from consumer maps and I don't think I gave it the credit it deserved.
  • How would you redesign Google Maps specifically for autonomous vehicles?

“I started by talking about turn-by-turn nav and real-time traffic and then realized about two minutes in that none of that is the hard part for AVs.”

Product sense round at Cruise for a PM role. One design question, pretty open-ended, and I spent more time than I'd like to admit figuring out what they actually wanted from me.
  • Design an internal navigation system for Cruise's vehicle servicing garages.

“The internal part tripped me up at first.”
