"The 2021 Escalade, unveiled this week in Los Angeles (where else?), will carry the latest version of Super Cruise, Cadillac's much-lauded competitor to Tesla Autopilot. On the highway, the feature lets drivers take their hands off the wheel but uses an infrared camera to ensure they keep their eyes on the road. Super Cruise, which debuted in 2017 on the CT6 sedan, uses cameras and radars to monitor traffic and road conditions, follow turns, and adjust speed based on terrain."
"The version of Super Cruise arriving on the Escalade, due on dealer lots later this year (with pricing TBA), features a bevy of upgrades. First off, it's simpler to engage, and thus enjoy. "You used to have to precisely position the car in the lane and wait for the car to switch modes once it was happy with the conditions," says Mario Maiorana, the system's chief engineer. "Now that happens much more easily and quickly.""
The 2021 Cadillac Escalade will include the latest Super Cruise driver-assistance system, enabling hands-off highway driving while using an infrared camera to monitor driver attention. Super Cruise uses cameras and radars to monitor traffic and road conditions, follow turns, and adjust speed based on terrain. The system debuted in 2017 on the CT6 sedan and its arrival on the Escalade signals broader availability because the big SUV is a strong seller. The Escalade's Super Cruise is simpler to engage, offers a more intuitive interface, supports lane changes on command, and flashes animated graphics to show its "thinking" and progress.
