GM Unveils First Vehicles to Access GM's Extensive Hands-Free Driving Network

GM has announced the first vehicles that will have access to Super Cruise's extensive road network. The company announced in August that it would double the size of the Advanced Hands-Free Driver Assistance System (ADAS) network to more than 400,000 miles (644,000 kilometers) of roads in the United States and Canada. What a surprise: the first vehicles to gain access to this expanded Super Cruise network are the newest premium SUVs.

GM says it will begin delivering vehicles with extended access to Super Cruise in mid-November. The following SUVs will be able to use the larger hands-free driving network, provided they were built on October 3 or later:

2023 Chevrolet Tahoe – High Country and Premier

2023 Chevrolet Suburban – High Country and Premier

2023 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Escalade-V

2023 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate

In the coming months, existing Super Cruise vehicles that are built on GM's vehicle intelligence platform will gain access to the extended network following over-the-air updates. GM announces that by the end of next year, Super Cruise will be available worldwide on 22 models.

As for the Ultra Cruise, GM's next-generation ADAS that's currently in pre-production, it will be available on select high-end models. GM expects Ultra Cruise to operate on 2 million miles of North American roads from the start.
