Popular Mechanics today named General Motors’ Super Cruise
semi-autonomous driving technology for Cadillac a winner of its ninth annual
Breakthrough Awards that recognize innovators and products that advance the
fields of technology, medicine, space exploration, automotive design, and more.
Super Cruise is capable of semi-automated driving including
hands-off lane following, braking and speed control under certain driving
conditions. The system is designed to ease the driver’s workload on highways
only, in bumper-to-bumper traffic and on long road trips; however, the driver’s
attention is still required.
