Chevrolet Super Cruise Overview
Hands-free driving systems are becoming more and more mainstream every day, and while these systems are still often confined to high-priced brands or models, GM’s Super Cruise technology is available on most Chevrolet models. Super Cruise is exceptionally good as well, and you don’t have to take our word for it either, outlets like Top Speed* and MotorTrend** have rated Super Cruise the best hands-free driving system on the market. Here’s a bit about what makes Super Cruise such an incredible technology.
What Is Super Cruise?
Super Cruise was developed by GM as a complement to adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control already maintains not just your speed, but also a safe following distance behind any vehicles in front of you. Super Cruise uses a system of cameras, GPS, and LiDAR to get a clear enough picture of the conditions to let you take your hands off the wheel and let the vehicle drive itself. That includes taking turns and changing lanes when necessary. It even has the ability to operate while towing a trailer, something competing manufacturers don’t offer. You need to be on a compatible road, but that’s no problem, since there are more than 300 million miles (and counting) of compatible roads in North America. You also need a subscription, but the first three years are included in the price of any new Super Cruise-compatible vehicle.
How To Use Super Cruise
1. Turn on adaptive cruise control and then Super Cruise when the white Super Cruise icon appears.
2.Watch for the steering wheel light to turn a continuous green.
3.Take your hands off the wheel and sit back, just be sure to keep your eyes on the road.
