General Motors to Debut 'Eyes-Off' Autonomous Driving in 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ

MT Newswires Live10-23

General Motors (GM) plans to introduce "eyes-off driving" in 2028, starting with its Cadillac Escalade IQ electric SUV, allowing drivers to disengage fully from monitoring the road under certain conditions.

The feature will be supported by new centralized computing platform, also launching in 2028 in the Cadillac Escalade IQ, GM said Wednesday in a statement. The platform will unify "every major system -- from propulsion and steering to infotainment and safety --on a single, high-speed computing core," and will be deployed across gasoline-powered and electric vehicles, the company said.

"GM has already mapped 600,000 miles of hands-free roads in North America, and customers have driven 700 million miles with Super Cruise without a single reported crash attributed to the system," according to the statement.

Beginning next year, GM vehicles will integrate conversational AI powered by Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google Gemini, while the automaker plans to introduce its own conversational AI in the future.

The new technologies were unveiled by GM Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra and other executives at the GM Forward media event in New York.
