That’s why Super Cruise has been enhanced for the new Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate to function while trailering. The technology is compatible with trailers up to the allowable weight limits of both trucks (Lane Change on Demand and Automatic Lane Change are not available while trailering). If no opening is detected, Super Cruise will slow the vehicle to a minimum gap distance until an opening is found. •    The Super Cruise system has detected that the vehicle is in an exit lane.

The update nearly doubles the number of highway miles in North America where users can drive hands-free.

Super Cruise-compatible roadways will appear as part of the route overview on the touchscreen and will be distinguished in a white highlight. GMC is committed to elevating the driver’s experience over time. Find out why updating your vehicle’s software can help you take full advantage of your GMC. •    The driver did not take control of the vehicle when prompted by the Super Cruise system. The Super Cruise system will be disabled until the ignition is turned off and back on. When the Super Cruise Symbol and steering wheel indicator turn green, you’re ready to go hands-free.

HOW AND WHEN DOES THE MAP INFORMATION USED BY SUPER CRUISE UPDATE?

A camera faces the driver to make sure they're focused on the road and not sleeping, watching a movie, or jumping in the back seat. While Super Cruise isn't the only ADAS system with a visual watchdog, there are some without it. You need to take control to steer around a traffic situation or object, merge into traffic, exit the highway, make a turn, stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, a stop sign or other traffic control device. Super Cruise† does not steer to avoid construction zones. Super Cruise† is not a crash avoidance system and will not steer or brake to avoid a crash. Super Cruise† does not steer to prevent a crash with stopped or slow-moving vehicles.

I’m on a compatible highway; are there any other limitations on using Super Cruise?

Visit cadillacsupercruise.com, chevysupercruise.com, or gmc.com/connectivity-technology/super-cruise for compatible roads and full details. Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand are not available while trailering. It is important to always remember that Super Cruise is a driver assistance technology and cannot accurately detect all situations, so you should pay attention to the road ahead while Super Cruise is engaged. Super Cruise also cannot determine whether the driver is awake, asleep, impaired or properly focused on safe driving. Complete attention is always required while driving, even when using Super Cruise.

The company says it will also work on improved engagement with first responders to facilitate trainings in each precinct it plans to operate in. Technological issues aside, what really put Cruise in hot water late last year was its response to the incident. Regulators accused the company of withholding information about the crash, only sharing that a Cruise robotaxi ran over a pedestrian who had been flung into its path after first being struck by a human-driven vehicle.

If Adaptive Cruise Control is already set, the symbol will be green with a speed shown. When engaged, Super Cruise† utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status while tracking the driver’s head position and using alerts that prompt the driver to pay close attention to the highway and steer manually when needed.

To disengage Super Cruise,† take control of the steering wheel, press the Super Cruise† button again or press the brake pedal or pull the Regen on Demand paddle if equipped. With an ever-growing network, select eligible GMC vehicles can travel on over 400,000 miles of compatible roads throughout the United States and Canada, including both divided and non-divided highways. When a driver initiates a manual lane change, they need only take control of the wheel. The light bar on the steering wheel will automatically change color from green to blue. Once the maneuver is completed, the driver can remove their hands from the wheel once the vehicle is centered in the lane and the steering wheel light bar turns green. Super Cruise functionality is enabled by a data connection for real-time, precise positioning and periodic Super Cruise map updates.

We expect this to excite Super Cruise customers, particularly those with compatible trailers who camp, boat, and use recreational vehicles. For perspective, 750,000 miles is like traveling one way from Earth to the Moon three times or taking a coast-to-coast road trip from New York City to San Francisco and back nearly 130 times. This new batch of compatible roads makes Super Cruise the largest truly hands-free operating domain in North America — nearly six times the coverage of other hands-free driver assistance technologies on the market today. This new mileage expansion importantly adds many new minor highways, which helps connect rural towns and roads, in addition to even more major highways. What's more, the update doesn't just include mileage, but also vehicles. The 2024 Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia now get Super Cruise as well, joining cars like the Chevy Tahoe, Blazer EV, Cadillac Escalade, and now even the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

Even while using the Super Cruise driver assistance technology, drivers should always pay attention while driving and not use a hand-held device. For example, if the vehicle is traveling on a divided freeway at a set speed of 65–70 mph and is behind someone traveling 60 mph, the system’s Automatic Lane Change when enabled will look for an opening once the following gap is shortened. If a suitable opening is detected, Super Cruise will automatically initiate the turn signal and change lanes without the driver doing anything other than paying attention to the road. With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise-equipped vehicles can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle. Super Cruise† functions with OnStar® and uses real-time precise positioning cameras, sensors, GPS and LiDAR map data to detect curves, which can help make long drives and commutes comfortable and convenient.

Search the map below to explore the compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada. To disengage Super Cruise,† take control of the steering wheel and then press the Super Cruise† button again or press the brake or pull the Regen on Demand† paddle if equipped. If you grab the steering wheel and press the brake pedal, Super Cruise† and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage. Super Cruise† vehicles are equipped with a series of cameras and sensors that identify lane markings and help keep you centred in your lane while driving hands-free. Real-time cameras, sensors and GPS, along with LiDAR precision map data, work in tandem to detect every curve, helping the vehicle stay centered in the lane and elevating the comfort and convenience of your commute. Inside the cabin is a Driver Attention System consisting of a camera integrated on top of the steering column and infrared emitters integrated into the steering wheel.

To find out if your vehicle has this feature, contact your dealer or refer to your vehicle’s equipment list. Please check your Owner’s Manual for more information about features. Once the update completes downloading, you will be prompted with a pop-up notification on your infotainment screen.

Most Super Cruise-equipped EVs will receive the expansion, aside from the Chevy Bolt EUV. •    There is no map information available for that portion of a controlled access road. Recent road reconstruction may turn off Super Cruise for that section of road until new map information is available.•    The vehicle is not on the correct type of road. A controlled access freeway or compatible highway is required for Super Cruise.•    The vehicle is approaching an interchange or intersection. Our head pose and eye gaze software helps make sure your eyes are on the road, and it alerts you when you need to pay more attention or take back control. Using LiDAR mapping technology, we’ve mapped compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada.

For your next trip, use the map below to search for compatible U.S. roads. More than 400,000 miles of compatible roads†Available on select Chevy vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. This road expansion allows you to travel hands-free on more roads than ever before.

When the symbol and steering-wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, which indicates that Super Cruise is steering the vehicle. To disengage Super Cruise™, press the Super Cruise™ button again or press the brake pedal. When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise.

Also, beeps will sound or the Safety Alert Seat, if equipped, will vibrate. Available Super Cruise† is the first true hands-free driving-assistance feature for compatible highways.Super Cruise utilizes advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving. Thanks to Lane Change on Demand† and Automatic Lane Change,† even changing lanes† is hands-free. If Lane Change on Demand† is engaged, you are able to prompt the system to change lanes for you. If the steering wheel light bar flashes green for too long and the system determines continued lack of attention to the road ahead, the steering wheel light bar flashes red to notify you to look at the road and steer the vehicle manually.

Each individual has their own tendency of where they drive in a lane, and where they perceive the center of the lane to be. Because we do not sit in the center of the vehicle, this can vary from driver to driver, and also depends on what type of vehicle is being driven based on how wide or tall the vehicle is. Super Cruise is designed to drive in the true center of the lane (+/- 4 inches or 10 cm).
