"GM's Super Cruise System Expands to Cover 750K Miles of Rural Highways"

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.

This move is part of GM's effort to compete with Tesla and attract customers with advanced driver-assistance systems.
