Get Ready for Smooth Sailing: Cadillac is Expanding Super Cruise
Driving can be a taxing experience, especially if you're stuck on the highway for multiple hours each day or on an extended road trip. Cadillac agrees -- and they've developed an arterial network of highways throughout the U.S. and Canada that allows lucky Cadillac owners to utilize their Super Cruise functionality. If you're not familiar with it, Super Cruise turns your vehicle into the light version of a self-driving car. Here's what you need to know.
What is Cadillac's Super Cruise?
Technically called a "driver assistance program", drivers are still expected to be active in the navigation of their vehicle. However, Super Cruise is a hands-free driving system that is so sophisticated it even knows if you're paying attention. If you don't respond to repeated efforts of the vehicle to get you to retake control of the vehicle, the vehicle will roll to a controlled stop in the current lane, turn on the hazards and call OnStar for assistance.
Truth or Science Fiction?
While it may sound like something from the future, Cadillac's beloved Super Cruise has slowly been rolling out across the country and now covers more than 130,000 miles. With the addition of the 2019 miles, there will be 200,000 miles of roadways across the country that are available for this type of assisted cruising. Drivers have safely navigated over 2.5 million miles utilizing the Super Cruise system. Everything has been mapped by a team to within four inches in a global coordinate frame. The system also forces users to retake control when vehicles approach stoplight, stop signs or crosswalks for safety.
There are many reasons to purchase a Cadillac, and the addition of expanded Super Cruise functionality certainly tops the list. Another key selling point for Cadillacs is the exceptional service that you'll receive at your local Keyser Cadillac dealership.
