"GM's Super Cruise System Expands to Cover 750K Miles of Rural Highways"

GM is expanding its Super Cruise hands-free driving system to include about 750,000 miles of rural and minor highways in the US and Canada by 2025, nearly doubling its network. The system uses a combination of technology to enable hands-free driving, with the ability to maintain lane position, change lanes, and even tow a trailer. Unlike Tesla's Autopilot, Super Cruise does not require hands on the wheel but does require the driver's eyes to be directed straight ahead. This move is part of GM's effort to compete with Tesla and attract customers with advanced driver-assistance systems.
