Super Cruise controls the throttle, brakes, and steering when the light is green. When it turns blue, it senses the driver taking control of the steering and flashes red when Super Cruise disengages completely. Automatic updates via your OnStar plan will occur for the latest Super Cruise road availability information. In the event that a map update is not completed within seven months, Super Cruise will be disabled. Adaptive Cruise Control†Works with Super Cruise to automatically detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path.
OnStar. Super Cruise. Your drive just keeps getting easier.
We thought the cat's eyes would help now as they are only effective at night, but it didn't appear so. After that, Super Cruise made what's usually a tedious yet stressful drive easier. The result was being more alert and attentive for a longer duration and not suddenly feeling like it was time for rest stops. Instead, it was a case of "Oh, I could use a coffee and a snack," not, "I need a break." In light traffic on a reasonably maintained road, Super Cruise went for an hour smoothly without fault.

The major selling point of Super Cruise is that it doesn't require the driver's hands on the wheel when engaged. It will accelerate, brake, cruise, and steer for you on a supported highway. You prepare yourself for driving in a straight line on the I-15 for four hours, surrounded by bad drivers on a primarily two-lane freeway. It's precisely the kind of driving Super Cruise should shine with, and it does - mostly. To get started, you won’t need to buy a Super Cruise subscription. All Super Cruise–equipped vehicles come with 3 years of connectivity to support Super Cruise functionality.
About Adaptive Cruise Control
Our head pose and eye gaze software helps make sure your eyes are on the road, and it alerts you when you need to pay more attention or take back control. All Super Cruise™-equipped vehicles include 3 years of connectivity to support functionality, after which an eligible paid Connected Services plan is required. However, when the road markings were maintained to a reasonable standard, the XT6's steering inputs were smooth enough not to be jarring, and the car was kept in the center of its lane. We've experienced Super Cruise a few times but rarely take press cars on long freeway trips. So, when this writer was charged with driving to Las Vegas to drive McLaren's new supercar, Cadillac was good enough to supply an XT6 so we could spend quality time with Super Cruise on the four-and-a-half-hour road trip.
With 400,000 miles and counting of compatible highways in the U.S. and Canada, there are plenty of regions where attentive drivers can take advantage of Super Cruise. To disengage Super Cruise press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal. If you grab the steering wheel AND press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control† will disengage.
When the symbol and steering-wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, which indicates that Super Cruise is steering the vehicle. To disengage Super Cruise™, press the Super Cruise™ button again or press the brake pedal. The bubble has deflated, and expectations are finally starting to be tempered.
Today, Super Cruise is operational on 400,000 miles of road in the US and Canada. The company plans on adding around 40,000 miles of new roads every quarter over the course of two years, so by the end of 2025, Super Cruise will cover approximately 750,000 miles in the US and Canada. GM has done impressive work creating a system that safely and efficiently makes driving less taxing, essentially letting the driver monitor highway maneuvers and take over when necessary. That alone makes Super Cruise something to talk about — while wondering how long it will be till such functionality is so standard it is taken for granted.

The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses Global Positioning System (GPS) sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high-precision map and network of cameras to maintain automatic control of vehicle steering on compatible roads. The GPS uses real-time corrections and map data to determine the vehicle’s location while the Lane Sensing Camera detects the marked lanes on the road to help the vehicle automatically steer and maintain lane position. With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise™-equipped† vehicles can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle.

With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise-equipped vehicles can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle. Super Cruise† functions with OnStar® and uses real-time precise positioning cameras, sensors, GPS and LiDAR map data to detect curves, which can help make long drives and commutes comfortable and convenient. All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include three years of connectivity to support functionality, after which a Super Cruise plan must be purchased. When a driver initiates a manual lane change, they need only take control of the wheel. The light bar on the steering wheel will automatically change color from green to blue. Once the maneuver is completed, the driver can remove their hands from the wheel once the vehicle is centered in the lane and the steering wheel light bar turns green.
If no opening is detected, Super Cruise will slow the vehicle to a minimum gap distance until an opening is found. It’s not just curves and travel speed that Super Cruise is capable of handling for the Sierra Denali and Denali Ultimate. To start, a driver must already be using Adaptive Cruise Control.

If equipped with Lane Change on Demand, you are able to prompt the system to change lanes for you. However, Super Cruise will not steer to avoid safety situations. You need to take control to steer around a traffic situation or object, merge into traffic, exit the highway, make a turn, or stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, stop sign or other traffic control device. When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise™† button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise™.
But if the road is covered in snow — or it’s a dirt road like the one we encountered on one of our splitboarding jaunts — you’re SOL. I remember trying out Tesla’s self-driving feature several years ago on a test drive. To find out if your vehicle has this feature, contact your dealer or refer to your vehicle’s equipment list. Please check your Owner’s Manual for more information about features. • The driver did not take control of the vehicle when prompted by the Super Cruise system. The Super Cruise system will be disabled until the ignition is turned off and back on.
There are certain expectations drivers have for GMC pickup trucks when it comes to the latest in technology and professional-grade capability. Super Cruise-compatible roadways will appear as part of the route overview on the touchscreen and will be distinguished in a white highlight. The notices of updates can be sent to your vehicle or you can manually check for updates via the touch-screen. • The Super Cruise system has detected that the vehicle is in an exit lane. If the Super Cruise™ symbol does not appear, press the Super Cruise button to display a Driver Information Centre message about why the system is unavailable.
Ian Wright was born in England and obsessed with all things on four wheels. Now, he lives in California and writes about and photographs cars. His career path has veered between cars, including working as a mechanic and a driving instructor, and more creative outlets including writing and media production. When it's available, and the road markings are reasonably maintained, Super Cruise is excellent. That's a technical limitation on all sensor-based driving aids, but it's worth bearing in mind if you're looking to option Super Cruise on a car - it won't work all the time, and stormy weather can affect its operability.
• There is no map information available for that portion of a controlled access road. In order to use Super Cruise, first press the Adaptive Cruise Control† button on the steering wheel to turn on Adaptive Cruise Control. Visit the Super Cruise page to learn more about how this true hands-free driver-assistance technology can be used on compatible roadways.
