Super Cruise utilizes an advanced network of cameras, sensors, and GPS to maintain lane positioning – meaning you can sit back as your vehicle handles most of the driving duties on mapped roads across America and Canada.
It maintains a set speed while keeping a safe distance from other cars ahead without any input needed on the accelerator or brake pedals—essentially giving you freedom during those long stretches of freeway drives or when navigating through controlled-access highways.
You simply activate Super Cruise with a tap and let your car take care of the rest – all while knowing that safety is built into every mile driven with this ground-breaking advancement in automotive technology.
