General Motors is targeting a 2028 launch for a next-generation Super Cruise system that allows drivers to look away from the road. The automaker is using advanced simulators to test driver behavior and system safety, including measuring attention via games like Candy Crush. Currently, Super Cruise is available on over 20 GM models, but no passenger vehicles offer true eyes-off autonomy yet.
General Motors has unveiled a new user interface for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, prioritizing simplicity and reduced cognitive load. The system features a split-view home screen, a new 3D visualization for Super Cruise, and a dedicated passenger screen with polarized privacy filters. Notably, GM reintegrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a 'window-in-window' format, reversing its previous stance on EVs. The interface is built on a scalable software foundation for gas, diesel, and electric vehicles, with continuous over-the-air updates planned.
GMC previews the all-new 2027 Sierra 1500, led by the luxury Denali Ultimate and capable AT4X, introducing sixth-generation Small Block V8 engines (5.7L and 6.6L), an enhanced TurboMax option, a class-exclusive Duramax diesel, and a 10‑speed transmission, while offering a tech-forward cabin with multiple large displays and hands-free Super Cruise; first models are expected to arrive late 2026.
General Motors remains committed to its decision to remove Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from future vehicles, despite customer demand for these features. GM's senior vice president of software and services, Baris Cetinok, emphasized the company's "strong conviction" in developing its own native software to enhance the overall customer experience. GM believes that its technologies, such as Super Cruise, will attract buyers, even as Apple continues to enhance CarPlay's functionality.
The 2025 Buick Enclave, the first Buick to feature Super Cruise, comes with a new seamless 30-inch display, bold styling, and a more powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Based on the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, it offers optional all-wheel drive and can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The interior boasts a premium feel with a 30-inch seamless screen, while safety features include GM’s Super Cruise system and standard driver assistance features. Available in three trim levels, the Enclave is set to be an affordable, well-equipped, and luxurious option in the three-row crossover segment.
General Motors plans to expand its Super Cruise advanced driver-assist system to cover nearly 750,000 miles in the US and Canada by the end of 2025, adding around 40,000 miles of new roads every quarter over the next two years. The system, which allows for hands-free driving on certain roads, uses cameras, radar sensors, GPS data, and lidar mapping data, and is paired with a driver-monitoring system. GM is working to expand Super Cruise's operational domain to include nondivided highways and rural areas, while emphasizing safety and caution in contrast to competitors like Tesla.
General Motors (GM) has expanded its Super Cruise hands-free driving network in North America, nearly doubling the available routes to 750,000 miles, making it the largest hands-free map in the industry. The expansion allows for automated lane changes, acceleration, and braking on compatible roads using LiDAR-enabled map data. GM plans to continue adding major and minor highways to the network, aiming to make them available to drivers through 2025.
GM is expanding its Super Cruise operating area by 750,000 miles to include rural roads and minor highways in the US and Canada by 2025, nearly doubling its current network. Super Cruise allows hands-free operation under driver supervision and uses advanced technology to ensure driver attention. The system relies on LiDAR-scanned maps for designated roads, adjusting speeds as necessary, and is available in 15 GM vehicles. This expansion marks a significant step in GM's autonomous driving efforts, contrasting with Tesla's Full Self Driving system.
GM is expanding its Super Cruise hands-free driving system to include about 750,000 miles of rural and minor highways in the US and Canada by 2025, nearly doubling its network. The system uses a combination of technology to enable hands-free driving, with the ability to maintain lane position, change lanes, and even tow a trailer. Unlike Tesla's Autopilot, Super Cruise does not require hands on the wheel but does require the driver's eyes to be directed straight ahead. This move is part of GM's effort to compete with Tesla and attract customers with advanced driver-assistance systems.
