GM’s Super Cruise Joins Tesla’s Autopilot in the Passing Lane
This article is for subscribers only.
The race for first place in hands-free driving will intensify later this year when General Motors Co. begins selling an advanced version of its Super Cruise system.
The new version of Super Cruise will enable the vehicle to change lanes like Tesla Inc.’s Navigate on Autopilot driver-assist feature. When the driver touches the turn signal, Super Cruise will use vehicle sensors and other technology to look for nearby cars, find an opening in an available lane and move over. The current version allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel for a limited time, but they can’t change lanes.
