GMC Sierra Is Getting Super Cruise

Super Cruise driver assistance technology will launch on the GMC Sierra 1500 Denali in late model year 2022.

I�ve said on the Car Pro Show many times, that the GM Super Cruise system on the Cadillac CT6 was as close to a real self-driving car I�ve ever driven. It worked extremely well.

Now we find out that Super Cruise driver assistance technology will launch on the Sierra 1500 Denali in late model year 2022. The pickup will have the latest version of Super Cruise including the introduction of the ability to trailer while driving hands free.

As the industry�s first true hands-free driver assistance system, Super Cruise is available on more than 200,000 miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada.

Super Cruise utilizes a driver attention system and precision LiDAR map data in addition to real-time cameras, sensors and GPS. The driver attention system uses a small camera located on the top of the steering column and works with infrared lights to determine where the driver is looking whenever Super Cruise is in operation. If the driver attention system detects the driver has turned their gaze away from the road ahead for too long, the steering wheel light bar will prompt the driver to return their attention to the road.
