"General Motors said it plans to launch an automated driving system that will allow drivers to keep their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel in 2028, starting with the Cadillac Escalade IQ. The announcement, made Wednesday at its GM Forward event in New York City, comes a year after TechCrunch first reported that the automaker was working on the system. GM said its hands-off advanced driver assistance system, known as Super Cruise, is the foundation of this future, more capable product. Super Cruise, which launched in 2017 and is now available in 23 vehicle models, can be used on about 600,000 miles of highway."
"This new eyes-off, hands-off driver assistance system - which will use lidar, radar, and cameras for perception - will also start on highways. GM CEO Mary Barra noted during the event that GM would roll out its eyes-off product faster than it did its hands-off Super Cruise ADAS. The automaker said it has tapped the experience of engineers who worked at its now shuttered autonomous vehicle technology subsidiary Cruise to improve the capabilities of that system."
General Motors plans to introduce an eyes-off, hands-off automated driving system in 2028, beginning with the Cadillac Escalade IQ and initially limited to highways. The new system builds on Super Cruise, GM’s hands-off ADAS available since 2017 across 23 models and about 600,000 miles of highway. The system will use lidar, radar, and cameras for perception. GM has integrated engineers and technology from its shuttered Cruise unit, including AI models trained on five million driverless miles and a simulation framework, to accelerate development and pursue fully autonomous personal vehicles.
