- Safety First: Unlike systems that try to handle any road situation, Super Cruise is designed with safety in mind. It manages driving tasks like lane-keeping and speed management, allowing you to focus on monitoring the road.
- Intuitive Interaction: GM engineers crafted a system that communicates clearly with drivers using dashboard icons, steering wheel lights, and gentle alerts. If you don't respond, the system brings the vehicle to a stop safely and contacts an OnStar operator, prioritizing safety over automation.
- Lane Management: Super Cruise impresses by not only initiating lane changes but also returning the vehicle to its original lane.
- Towing Capability: Even when towing, Super Cruise remains effective, giving you peace of mind with large loads.
While Tesla's Full Self Driving system is intriguing, it often struggles in complex scenarios, leading to random deceleration and erratic lane changes. In contrast, Super Cruise leaves such decisions to you, reducing risks and enhancing trust.
The best driver assistance systems don’t just cover more miles; they should reduce driver fatigue without compromising safety. In our experience, GM's Super Cruise achieves this balance, offering a blend of convenience and reliability unmatched by competitors.
In deciding our Best Tech award, we consider factors like innovation, user experience, and safety. Super Cruise excels across these parameters, setting a high standard for ADAS systems.
- Hyundai/Kia Highway Driving Assist: Top class among hands-on systems, but lacks hands-free features.
- Ford BlueCruise: A strong competitor but still needs improvements to match Super Cruise’s capabilities.
- Mazda 360-Degree Camera System: A leader in parking aids but falls short in broader driver assistance benefits.
With its focus on safe, stress-free driving, Super Cruise is the top choice among today’s driver assistance systems. As this technology evolves, we hope others in the industry will align with GM’s commitment to safe and effective automation.
Summary: GM's Super Cruise sets a new standard in driver assistance with its safe and intuitive operation. Designed to keep you engaged and in control, it offers hands-free driving without sacrificing safety, making it a top choice in today's automotive world.
