Since its launch in 2017, General Motors’ semi-autonomous driver assist system, has only been found in one car, the sedan. But now it’s 2020, the , Super Cruise has undergone some improvements, and Cadillac is finally ready to roll it out on other models.

Super Cruise has now been “enhanced,” according to a Cadillac . This improvement includes automated lane change capabilities, which will let drivers change lanes on “compatible highways” while keeping their hands off the steering wheel. Super Cruise, if you’ll remember, allows you to use it without keeping your hands on the wheel at all times, as requires. .

Okay, okay, so some people might have died while utilizing Tesla’s semi-autonomous Autopilot…

That camera viewing , and is part of why Super Cruise is getting an update.

Reasonable people disagree, but for my money, Cadillac’s Super Cruise system is the best…

With an ongoing SUV boom killing sedan sales and an uncertain future around autonomy and…

Anyway, the newly Super Cruise-enabled cars will be available in the second half of this year. , we found the technology to be quite capable. It, along with Autopilot, are likely the best semi-autonomous functions available to consumers today.

And here’s your obligatory reminder that Super Cruise and Autopilot are not self-driving tech. Nobody has achieved that yet, so please do not treat them as such.
