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

Six Degrees of Automation: 0

No automation

Zero autonomy; the driver performs all driving tasks.

Six Degrees of Automation: 1

Driver assistance

Vehicle is controlled by the driver but driving assist features may be included in the vehicle design.

Six Degrees of Automation: 2

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.

Six Degrees of Automation: 3

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.

Six Degrees of Automation: 4

High automation

The vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions under certain conditions. The driver may have the option to control the vehicle.

Six Degrees of Automation: 5

Full automation

The vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions under all conditions. The driver may have the option to control the vehicle.
