The Breakdown:

• General Motors’ Super Cruise technology has completed over 1 billion miles of hands-free driving.  
• GM offers the technology in nearly 750,000 vehicles across North America.
• The automaker is already developing the next-generation Level 3 system.  

General Motors has reached an impressive milestone with iSuper Cruise. The safety technology that launched nearly a decade ago has completed 1 billion miles of hands-free driving—that's a lot of miles.

According to the automaker, GM customers have taken 28.7 million Super Cruise trips over the last year. Nearly 750,000 vehicles, across 23 models, in North America have Super Cruise.  

GM launched Super Cruise in 2017 for the 2018 Cadillac CT6. The automaker would introduce the technology on select Chevrolet and GMC models a few years later, adding it to the Bolt and Hummer EV in 2022 as it refined and improved the system.  

Buick got Super Cruise for 2025, and GM has even bigger plans for autonomous driving. Rashed Haq, GM’s vice president of vehicle autonomy, said:  

'This 1 billion miles driven hands-free by our customers is just the start. Super Cruise is the cornerstone of GM’s autonomous roadmap, from today’s hands-free features to eyes-off, starting with the Escalade IQ in 2028.'

What Comes Next

Super Cruise is an SAE Level 2 advanced driver-assistance system. It offers hands-free driving on select highways, but drivers must keep their eyes on the road.

Level 3 provides more freedom to the driver to do things like reply to emails, read a book, or watch a movie, and that’s the level of autonomy GM will introduce in 2028 on the Cadillac Escalade IQ. It will build the new system on the expertise from Cruise, the robotaxi company the automaker acquired in early 2025.

GM is already testing the next-gen system on public roads in Michigan and California, with more than 200 development vehicles. The automaker is working on an alert system to notify the driver to prepare to take control of the vehicle.  

The system will be capable of highway driving up to 70 miles per hour. That’s much faster than what Mercedes-Benz will allow with its Drive Pilot system, which is available on the S-Class in Nevada and California and limited to 40 mph.  

Motor1’s Take: There's no doubt Super Cruise will be an integral part of GM's future product lineup. It's a subscription-based service that buyers are keeping after the trial period, and it offers truly useful features. It's a question, though, whether it is ethical to put safety features behind a paywall like it is a luxury upgrade.
