GM pledges wider autonomous driving support across its vehicle range
General Motors says it remains committed to electric vehicles and autonomous driving, despite concerns that the US market may be losing momentum. At its GM Forward event, the company announced plans to expand hands-off, eyes-off Super Cruise to nearly its entire vehicle range, including pickups and crossovers.
GM says it is testing the technology for about 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometres) each month in virtual and real-world settings. Executives also described OnStar AI features that could explain vehicle alerts, learn drivers’ routines and offer help such as arranging a takeaway pick-up. Some processing would happen in the car, while cloud services could support features such as warnings about hazardous road conditions; GM says customer trust will be essential.
In short
- GM plans to bring Super Cruise to nearly every vehicle.
- OnStar AI could explain alerts and help with everyday tasks.
- The company says trust is central to its plans.
