General Motors<\/a> has shared more details of the technology and future capabilities we can expect to see in its next-generation Ultra Cruise ADAS, which was originally announced during its GM Investor Day presentation last year. The technology will debut on the upcoming premium Cadillac Celestiq EV in early 2024, although the exact driver assistance capabilities deployed at that time remain to be determined. Here\u2019s what we know so far.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Before we dig into the new details of Ultra Cruise, we should start with GM\u2019s ADAS predecessor, Super Cruise. Super Cruise<\/a> is a hands-free driver assistance feature introduced years ago that uses adaptive cruise\u00a0control technology and connected services\u00a0in each GM branded vehicle to navigate LiDAR-enabled map data using real-time positioning, cameras, and sensors.<\/p>\n

The result is EVs that can control their own acceleration, braking, and automatic lane changes, but only on compatible roads. The American automaker continues to expand the availability of Super Cruise\u2019s hands-free driving feature on roads throughout North America<\/a> and has made excellent progress so far.<\/p>\n

According to its latest annual ADAS rankings, Consumer Reports gave Super Cruise a score of 75<\/a>, second only to Ford\u2019s BlueCruise ADAS \u2013 both of which bested the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Tesla. During 2022\u2019s GM Investor Day, the automaker shared it was working on its next-generation of ADAS technology called Ultra Cruise.<\/p>\n

When GM first unveiled its ultra-lux, hand-built Cadillac Celestiq sedan, we learned it would come equipped<\/a> with the sensor and software systems to support Ultra Cruise, but those exact capabilities remained vague.<\/p>\n

Today, GM has shared more details of the sensors that will comprise Ultra Cruise driving as well as the automaker\u2019s expansion plans for capable roadways around the US and Canada.<\/p>\n
