"The company announced a major update to its driving assistance system that would bring hands-free, "eyes-off" highway driving to vehicles, starting with the Cadillac Escalade IQ in 2028. The technology will rely on integrated lidar, radar and cameras and a new internal and external turquoise lighting system to signal that the self-driving tech is active. The new eyes-off driving technology will push beyond the limits of GM's existing "Super Cruise," system, which offers hands-free highway driving but requires a driver's attention."
"Next year, GM also plans to add Google's Gemini AI into its vehicles, "making it possible to talk to your car as naturally as you would to a fellow passenger." Down the road, GM plans to introduce its own AI assistant tied into OnStar, its subscription service that offers safety, security and navigation features. The company says its future custom AI could be useful for "explaining one-pedal driving in your new vehicle, spotting a maintenance issue early, or finding the perfect place for dinner.""
GM plans to integrate advanced software and AI to reimagine cars as intelligent assistants. Eyes-off, hands-free highway driving will arrive beginning with the Cadillac Escalade IQ in 2028, using lidar, radar, cameras, and turquoise lighting to indicate active self-driving. The new system will extend capabilities beyond the current Super Cruise by removing the continuous driver-attention requirement. Google’s Gemini AI will be added next year for natural conversational interaction, and a custom OnStar AI will later provide vehicle explanations, early maintenance spotting, and local recommendations. Smartphone-based Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support will be phased out in favor of in-house infotainment.
