"Not to be confused with the type of "eyes-off" distracted driving that many drivers seem to be practicing these days, GM's system would be a step toward the automaker's ultimate goal of selling privately owned, fully autonomous cars. Some GM-produced cars already include the company's Super Cruise system, which allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel but uses gaze-tracking technology to make sure they keep their eyes on the road."
"GM says it aims to bring its Level 3 system to market by 2028, starting with the Cadillac Escalade IQ. From there, the technology will likely spread to the automaker's other brands, like Chevy, Buick, and GMC. Soon, drivers will be able to look at their phones without shame or risk of traffic violation. In some cases, drivers are encouraged to play video games or watch YouTube while their vehicle handles the driving."
General Motors plans to deploy a Level 3 eyes-off driving system that allows drivers to remove hands and look away on certain US highways. The system builds on Super Cruise gaze-tracking but would permit drivers to take their eyes off the road while the vehicle handles driving under specific conditions. GM intends to introduce the technology by 2028 beginning with the Cadillac Escalade IQ, with wider rollout to Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC expected. Drivers may be able to use phones, play games, or watch video while the car drives. Drivers must remain ready to resume control when prompted, and failure to take over quickly could produce legal and safety consequences. Level 3 automation introduces complex responsibility and many unknowns.
