"In the tech world, move fast and break things has evolved from an internal Facebook motto to the default way of operating across countless industries. But when something can literally move fast and break things, a little more care and deliberation is probably a good thing. That seems to be what we're getting from General Motors as it seeks to add LIDAR and "eyes-off" driving to Super Cruise, elevating what's already a "hands-free" experience on most highways."
"The latter barely exists on passenger cars Americans can buy, save for a few examples like the Volvo EX90, which don't use it yet for eyes-free driving. We're only starting to see this more on China's advanced EVs, too. So GM could be in a position to deliver the widest deployment of LIDAR and eyes-off drivingmeaning, your hands are off the wheel, and you can read a book or something while the car handles the drivingthat America has ever seen."
General Motors announced plans to integrate LIDAR sensors and 'eyes-off' driving capabilities into Super Cruise, expanding from current hands-free functionality on many highways. The rollout is not imminent; GM expects such advanced autonomy no earlier than 2028 and faces significant regulatory, technical, and safety hurdles before deployment. LIDAR remains rare on U.S. passenger cars and is more visible on some Chinese EVs and select models like the Volvo EX90. GM showcased additional technology initiatives including conversational in-car AI and home energy storage at its Forward event. Market skepticism and regulatory caution will shape adoption timelines and infrastructure investments.
