GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system is engineered to make driving feel seamless, but behind the scenes, it relies on advanced machine learning and precise vehicle control.
At the heart of this system is the Unified Lateral Controller (ULC), a modular software stack that processes vast amounts of data in real time to ensure smooth lane centering, natural lane changes, and responsive steering maneuvers.

For example, if a driver signals left to change lanes but quickly decides to stay put and signals right, Super Cruise swiftly recalculates and returns the vehicle to its original lane—an effortless action powered by complex algorithms.
The system continuously analyzes data from LiDAR maps, cameras, speed sensors, weather conditions, and nearby vehicles to deliver a safe and intuitive driving experience.
One standout feature is Super Cruise’s ability to maintain precise lane centering even while towing a trailer, a first in the industry. The system automatically adjusts for the added weight and impact on steering, ensuring both the vehicle and trailer stay stable and centered.
The self-learning model refines its performance over time, adapting to different vehicle sizes, weights, and driving conditions for a consistent, hands-free experience across more than 20 GM models.
Super Cruise is expanding across GM’s lineup, making advanced hands-free driving accessible to more consumers.

Always stay attentive while using Super Cruise, and never use a handheld device while driving.
