General Motors’ new semi-self-driving system will be available in every Cadillac model after 2020 before moving into other GM brands, the company said June 5. Super Cruise is GM’s effort to develop self-driving vehicles. The company said it intends to commercialize self-driving cars in 2019; its self-driving car subsidiary, GM Cruise, recently received an investment from holding company SoftBank Group Corp. of Tokyo to accelerate development and deployment. The system incorporates advanced mapping, light-based radar (called lidar) and a driver attention system to provide hands-free driving in certain highway cruising conditions. By monitoring the driver’s eye movements, it can determine when the diver isn’t paying attention and provides alerts and audible warnings.
