(Reuters) -General Motors' Cruise will resume operations in the United States with a small fleet of human-driven vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona, about six months after the self-driving car unit paused operations following an incident in San Francisco.

"Cruise is resuming manual driving to create maps and gather road information in select cities, starting in Phoenix. This work is done using human-driven vehicles without autonomous systems engaged," the company said in a blog post.
