Path to Autonomous
We are making progress on autonomous driving.
We are moving fast in the autonomous driving space, following a two-pronged approach: the revolutionary path in driverless vehicle technology and the evolutionary path represented by driver assistance technology. Our vision is that autonomous vehicles can help lead to a safe, less congested future for all.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE BENEFITS
Better Accessibility
Safer Roads
Less Traffic
Why is GM committed to AVs?
We believe that autonomous vehicles will have enormous potential benefits for society in the form of increased safety and access to transportation. Since we believe that all AVs should be EVs, these efforts will clearly advance our vision of zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, and help us build a more sustainable and accessible world.
Innovating the future of driving
Super Cruise™1
While we are looking forward to the future of autonomous driving, we are also constantly exploring the practical significance of technological evolution.
Super Cruise is an intelligent driver assistance technology that we developed to meet current driving needs.
It innovatively integrates a driver-attention system with LiDAR map data, providing ease and convenience for driving on compatible roads like highways.
Cadillac initially introduced Super Cruise on its CT6 flagship sedan in China. Thanks to the Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP), Super Cruise technology can be further updated over-the-air. By 2023, GM will have more than 20 models worldwide equipped with this technology.
SUPER CRUISE
Hands-off, eyes-on
Introduced in 2017 as the world’s first truly hands-free Advanced Driver Assistance System, Super Cruise allows drivers to remove their hands from the wheel under specified conditions.
With plans for Super Cruise to expand to about 750,000 miles of compatible roads, it's the largest network of truly hands-free driving in North America.
LEVELS OF DRIVING AUTOMATION
Six degrees of automation
No automation
Zero autonomy; the driver performs all driving tasks.
Driver assistance
Vehicle is controlled by the driver but driving assist features may be included in the vehicle design.
Partial automation
Vehicle has combined automated functions, like acceleration and steering, but the driver must remain engaged with the driving task and monitor the environment at all times.
Conditional automation
Driver is a necessity but is not required to monitor the environment. The driver must be ready to take control of the vehicle at all times with notice.
High automation
The vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions under certain conditions. The driver may have the option to control the vehicle.
Full automation
The vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions under all conditions. The driver may have the option to control the vehicle.
- Super CruiseTM is a driver assistance system. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise on compatible roads. Do not use handheld devices while driving.
- Safety or driver-assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
