Introduction to Super Cruise

General Motors has made significant strides with its Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance system over the past year. By the end of June, GM reported that over 500,000 vehicles equipped with this feature were on the road, marking an impressive increase of more than 100% compared to the previous year. However, the usage of this advanced technology has revealed an interesting disparity among drivers.

Active Users and System Capabilities

Despite the surge in vehicles with Super Cruise, only about 200,000 of those drivers activated the feature on a monthly basis in the second quarter, which equals around 60% of total vehicles. Super Cruise operates as a level 2 driving assistance system, utilizing an array of technologies including lidar map data, GPS, cameras, and sensors. This powerful combination allows for hands-free driving on over 750,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada, including major highways and smaller routes connecting towns.

Future Developments and Accessibility

Since its launch in 2017 on the Cadillac CT6, GM has expanded Super Cruise’s coverage from 200,000 to nearly 800,000 miles of highways. Enthusiastically, users have logged over 34 million miles with hands-free assistance enabled. As of now, Super Cruise is available with a three-year trial on most of GM’s lineup, ranging from the Chevrolet Equinox EV to the luxurious Cadillac Escalade IQ. After the trial, drivers can opt for a subscription for continued use, with upcoming models even integrating Google Maps to enhance the functionality of this innovative system.
