How GM's 'Super Cruise' Hands-Free Driving Works

Super Cruise is the best of the advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) on the market. It allows you to drive completely hands-free on the highway, so long as you pay attention to the road. Here’s a look at the system and how it works.

It’s available in the new Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Cadillac Escalade, and several other GM products.

I can’t wait for this to expand to more and more cars. Visiting family involves long monotonous freeway driving where I can zone out. Not only would this be more convenient as a superior cruise control, it’s reaction time is probably far superior than my own after 8 hours of driving

Well executed! We appreciate the information, as well as a great communicator. Cheers!

Great review Jordan. I plan to get either a Chevy or GMC specifically for the super cruise. Thanks for review, well done!!

Can it make a right or left turn? I'm just curious, because it wasn't covered in the video. Does anyone know the answer? If so much appreciated.

My insurance company has just entered the chat

[bobdailey]

Does it recognize and respond to posted speed limit, yeild, reduce speed curve ahead, stop signs and traffic signal red, amber and green lights?

will it work with blackout sunglasses on?

[arthurtashchiyan]

What if youre wearing sunglasses, can the system work even if it doesnt see your eyes?

When I was a kid and couldn't wait to get my Drivers license it was because i wanted to be in control of the vehicle. That will never change for me. If i want to travel hands free ill ride a bus.

How does the normal lane centering smart crude compare? I have a Hyundai now and I think it has spiked me to driving assist.

Wow great technology, the first time I remember hearing about a LiDAR system was in a gymbal for videography from a company called DJI and the system when you put the gymbal down, like on a table the LiDAR system would track your face and as you moved the camera would move so you didn’t have to have the gymbal in your hand and it would track your movements.

Love the video, but one thing you didn't touch on was supposed you doze off. Will the truck pull over and stop or just shut off where you are or just keep rolling until you hit something

This is amazing and will bring independence to those who have partial vision problems, like my mother.

If you are, for example, on a small town road, would it warn you that there was a pedestrian on the side of the road?

[ronaldbiondi]

when the car decides to change lanes by itself, does it automatically turn on the turn signal

[gianthonyevillani]

Adios reaction time 😂- if you just have to sit there and stare then why wouldn’t you just drive. Driving feels good, being a passenger in a car is a headache no matter who’s driving.

I wish I had it in my Silverado when I do my 1000 miles trips. But I’d hate to see how much it costs or future repairs.

Love my ultimate and the super cruise is crazy awesome. You do have to be on a major highway or state highway for it to work. 👍👍 from me.

What happens if you get a front tire blowout

Does the GM also have the super cruise? Or just GMC?
