Today, Cadillac announced Super Cruise will head to more than just the CT6 full-size sedan. Starting in 2020, the luxury division plans to bring the semi self-driving system to every model within its portfolio. Then, the system will expand to other General Motors brands.
But, in the announcement, Cadillac also shared plans for future V2X (vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure) technology. In 2023, the brand will introduce the technology “in a high-volume crossover by 2023 and eventually expand the technology across Cadillac’s portfolio.” It’s possible the upcoming Cadillac XT6 full-size crossover could usher the technology in.
The XT6 will ride on GM’s extended C1 platform, making its proportions similar to the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave, which means we can expect four-cylinder and V6 engine options.
Cadillac has already dabbled in V2X technology with the current Cadillac CTS. The sedan comes standard with V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) technology.
V2V technology essentially allows the vehicle to not only see what’s ahead before the driver but allows vehicles also equipped with V2V technology to communicate with each other. The technology is powered by a Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) and GPS, which can handle 1,000 messages per second from vehicles up to nearly 1,000 feet away, according to Cadillac. However, the tech only communicates with other cars equipped with V2V tech at the moment.
Comments
2023 is too far for it to be on the XT6, unless they are planning to introduce it with a midcycle refresh.
I think the next XT5 is the more likely candidate. Its a “high-volume CUV” & by 2023 the current XT5 would be reach EOL & a successor will be on the horizon.
Cadillac has three more crossovers coming ( XT3/XT7/XT8). Plus next gen XT5/XT4/XT6 crossovers.
I’m hoping we see a TTV6 in the XT6 along with the fantastic AWD system from the XT5.
Talk about a car that can do good in the snow and get out of its own way.
The side profile looks a bit like Buick’s Enspire EV concept car and given that this new vehicle will most likely be sold in China first should suggest it could be one of the 10 new electrified vehicles General Motors plan to introduce by 2023.
May be Cadillac can fix our ATS shattered CUE screen to keep us from buying Audi until 2020 or 2021 or 2022 or 2023 or 2024 or 2025 and beyond.
Go tell these Cadillac people that your shattered CUE screen has not been fixed and they will do something about, instead of tell us.
“O” I have tried and even called GM and Cadillac several times. They will do nothing. Stopped buy another Cadillac Dealer today after we were at the Audi dealer, the Cadillac dealer had two CUE screens shatter on there lot last week. This is a quality and customer loyalty problem. I have owned 5 Cadillacs and driven GM for 34 years. This was the first time at the Audi dealer but my cousin has had two with ZERO troubles. The A4 we drove was cheaper than an ATS and SO SO much more car. Over a screen that is breaking everywhere including there own dealer lots. SO SAD.
I understand quality and customer loyalty problems and they are addressing those. Do you know anybody else have this problem? And have they had it fix?
WHO- WHO, who is addressing those. WHO ARE THEY. Give me a number, email or a name of who will fix this as a GM problem. This should be a quality, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and safety issue. They ALL should be fixed by GM. Warranty or not. This is a Cadillac.
Well other people are/ have gotten there CUE screens fixed with no problems at different dealers.
I am not saying there not fixing some. I want to know WHO sits in a meeting room and says. We Cadillac want customer loyalty and the top GM quality and we know CUE screens are shattering out there but we should only fix some because we don’t want ALL the loyal customers only some. Who is the judge? The dealer? Its a Cadillac. What kind of car do you drive with that broken screen, that’s a Cadillac. I get flyers at least monthly from GM come buy another GM. WHAT, fix the one I have now.
Most dealers wont fix it if its out of warranty. But if you make a big enough stink the service manager can get the area gm service rep to approve it……just sayin…
