What is CADILLAC Super Cruise™?

Are you looking to experience Cadillac hands-free driving? You can with Cadillac Super Cruise™ technology. This state-of-the-art feature allows you to experience high-precision hands-free driving on more than 130,000 miles of LiDAR-mapped highways and interstates across America. More roadways are constantly being added! Hands-free driving is available on new models like the CT4, the CT5, and the Escalade. More vehicles will soon offer Cadillac Super Cruise™ capabilities. Let’s dive in to see how Cadillac hands-free driving is possible. 

How Does CADILLAC Hands-Free Driving Work?

GM has set a goal for Super Cruise™ technology to facilitate hands-free driving up to 95% of the time, and they’re getting closer and closer to this point. You may have questions about how Cadillac hands-free driving works, and that’s understandable. We break down the basics below: 

• Before you even start driving your Cadillac vehicle, Cadillac creates highly detailed precision LiDAR maps of roads where the feature can be enabled.
• This data is combined with GPS information as well as data from your vehicle’s cameras and sensors. The data is used to predict the flow of the road so that you reach your destination safely. 

According to Motor Trend, by mapping Super Cruise™ roads in advance, Cadillac has created a hands-free driving technology that works “better than Tesla’s Autopilot.”

How to Activate Super Cruise™

1. Activate Adaptive Cruise Control. After your speed has been set, the indicator will change from white to green.
2. When you reach a road that has been approved for Super Cruise™ driving, the Super Cruise™ indicator will appear in white on your dashboard.
3. If the Super Cruise™ indicator light appears in white, you can press the Super Cruise™ steering wheel button to start using this hands-free driving feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel until the light bar turns green.
4. Super Cruise™ will control your speed, ensure an adequate distance between your vehicle and others, and keep you centered in your lane.
