It was only a matter of time, and in two years, Cadillac will begin rolling out Super Cruise to every one of its vehicles.
The luxury brand made the announcement on Wednesday and also confirmed plans to add vehicle-to-X (vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure) technology to a high-volume crossover in 2023, potentially the Cadillac XT6.
Super Cruise first debuted with the 2018 Cadillac CT6 last year. The system uses advanced mapping, GPS, Lidar and a driver-attention system to create a hands-free driving experience on divided freeways and highways. Super Cruise will handle all driving functions in the right conditions and also keep tabs on the driver’s attention to ensure he or she still pays attention is ready to retake control at any moment.
In the event a driver does not respond to audible warnings, Super Cruise will engage the hazards and pull the car off to a controlled stop while contacting OnStar.
In the future, we’ll see Super Cruise expand to the Cadillac CT3 or CT4 (an ATS replacement), CT5 (a CTS replacement), Cadillac XT4 crossover, XT5, XT6 and the Escalade.
After 2020, GM will also begin to introduce Super Cruise to additional brands.

OMG THIS IS HORRIBLE…..THEY ARE SO STUPID……THATS IT GM IS GOING BANKRUPT AGAIN!!!!…THE COROLLA IS SOOOOO MUCH MORE CAR….I’VE BEEN BUYING GM CARS FOR 245 YEARS I OWN 7 VEGAS, A TEREX TITAN AND A GMC RTS AND THIS THE LAST GM CAR I’LL EVER BUY……I’M BUYING A TATA NANO!!!!!!!
Is this how you do it?
Am I GMAuthoriting right?
You had a chance to be funny but you blew it.
Mr.R, I see you finally got off your moms couch. Was the video game boring you. “O” by the way Cadillac could fix our shattered ATS CUE screen. Stopped by Cadillac dealer today, they had two shatter in there lot last week. SO SAD.
Overall great news, many GM vehicles don’t even offer ACC so this is a really good offering…
“After 2020, GM will also begin to introduce Super Cruise to additional brands.” ??.
Two steps forward, one step back ….
The Head of General Motors Super Cruise program will be on tomorrow (June 7th) Autoline After Hours at 1200 pm PST; you can phone in and ask questions about the system as well as voice any concerns.
Forward all these way, not back, and yes Cadillac first other brands after.
Go to Cadillac web-page and tell them about you CUE screen not being fixed.
Yep wrote them two emails through there website. Called the infotainment people twice. Called the customer service twice. NOTHING. Again a KNOWN GM PROBLEM NOT ADDRESSED. But please trust us the next Cadillac experience will be better. These screens are breaking everywhere. How is this not a safety issue staring at a broken screen while driving. SO SAD.
LifelongGMowner, how far out of warranty are you? I just had mine replaced for shattering and picked it up today.
How can you RIP GM for not fixing your screen if your car is out of warranty? Just because it’s a known problem? That’s not how a warrant works, so you think GM should fix your cars problems for how long? 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25 years? When does it stop?
Brian, it isn’t that people expect free support and free replacement parts outside of warrant / in perpetuity; it is however expected that a known widespread issue due to a manufacturing defect be adddressed, or even offer a good will substantial credit to fix it. When mine cracked, I dropped it off and the dealer said they see it all the time, and that is a delamination issue between the screen and the digitizer. That GM was well aware of the issue and that they have to order the screen as they haven’t been able to keep them in stock. Some of the folks on the forums are under the 4 year warranty point, but have 51k or 52k miles. Literally just outside the mileage cut off. One guy had a srx that was 4 years and a month with 20k miles that they wouldn’t even offer any kind of support. They then add insult to injury saying it’s out of warranty and it was / is a known manufacturing defect with the CUE digitizer and screen.
Have you taken the time to listen to yourself? The car is just outside of the warranty! So no it’s not supposed to be covered, even if it’s a known defect!
I think your wrong, you are trying to get something or money for nothing. You have no foot to stand on.
Your trying to give Cadillac a bad name for something they have no business fixing!
People like you are the ones ruining the automotive industry, you think car companies should fix cars both under warranty and after the warranty is up. This is why they ask would you like to purchase a extended warranty? People who say yes get it fixed for free or next to that. People who say no have to reach into their pockets to pay.
Now ask yourself which one of those sets of people are the smart ones?
Hint it’s not you!
Brian, Have you taken a listen to yourself? You are here complaining that people should be satisfied buying JUNK. This is not a worn out Chevy. This in a WELL known supposed to be top of the line GM automobile. This is a product defect. People like You are the ones ruining the automotive industry, and Cadillac for sure. Auto makers had NO WARRANTY, let me repeat, automakers had NO WARRANTY, when there was LOYALTY. GET THIS STRAIGHT, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GETTING SOMTHING FOR FREE. I will FIX my ATS, i will SELL my ATS, i will BUY an AUDI. PEROID
Now you ask yourself which one of US sets of people are the smart ones?
You do know Cadillac has been on the DOWNHILL slide for years now right.
You do know who is winning this right.
Let me help your small picture mind out a bit.
AUDI.
People who buy this level of automobile HAVE the MONEY. Most people who buy this level of automobile don’t even know what the warranty is. They could care less about a warranty. THEY, WE, go to the garage in the morning to go to work get in our Cadillac, the screen is shattered we call Cadillac, Cadillac says YES we know screens are shattering BUT your screen we will not fix because you have no warranty. “O” I have no warranty well you better fix my screen because I cant drive my car like this. THE NEXT CAR IS AN AUDI.
And this is simply why Cadillac has been slipping away.
Get off your couch go drive a new ATS, then go drive a new Audi. We did yesterday. I can tell you what our next car will be. Do you want to take a guess? Let me save you some typing. I know you don’t care and will say good riddance to me. I just want to say thank you for you opinion and good luck Cadillac on your 2021, 2022, 2023 and beyond plan because this policy is a total FAILURE.
Actually, I’d also buy an Audi just to spite idiots like Brian. He still thinks brand loyalty matters in an age of instant satisfaction and status building, but what he doesn’t know is that any kind loyalty is earned, not handed out.
People as dumb as he is are the reason why Cadillac (and GM by extension) is considered 2nd tier. He has no interest in demanding the best of what is supposed to be the best, and his only real interest is in quantity and not quality.
He’s told us endlessly on GMA that he’s owned many Chevy trucks….which is VERY telling that he doesn’t have an eye for quality if he has to have so many.
Worse still, he thinks GM should award him a cash prize for the quantity of GM vehicles he’s owned, considering that he doesn’t have any redeemable personal qualities, the only thing he knows how to do is rely on his collection of mass-produced consumer goods as some badge of distinction rather than see it for what it is: an admission of personal failure.
This Audi purchase has nothing to do with spite. This Audi purchase has to do with final disappointment straw. Business plain and simple. Everyone around us drive Mercedes. BMW, and Audi. My nephew 2 BMW, my cousin 2 Audi, my uncle Mercedes, co workers Audi, neighbors all around us Mercedes and BMW. NONE of these people I personally know have had ANY troubles, just normal worn out stuff. Brakes, wheel bearings, tires, fuel filters, just normal stuff over time and mileage. NO CUE screens shattering, no Northstar head bolts pulling, no rear end leaking, no SRX transfer case chains, no 3.6 timing chain stretch, not one person I have talked to that I personally know has had trouble and will buy again what they have know. These are the people Cadillac expect to get back. Meanwhile they are still shedding loyal customers like myself. I simply don’t have time for it anymore. Nor do I need the stress.
Yep loyalty is something that people in this world needs to relearn! You can call me what ever names you want but at the end of the day my reputation is based on the principles that I live by! If you dont like my principles then you can go pound sand!
I dont jump from a company that I have done business with all my life just because of a design I didnt like, or a problem with a product that I have purchased.
I have no problem asking GM to produce great cars and trucks, I focus on the important things of a car not the picky things most people on sites like focus on!
So you go ahead calling me names cuz I am still waiting for that dude to answer the question. Can we call members anything we want on this site? Cuz when he says we can without restrictions, I will deal with your pathetic a$$!
Yep I could not agree with you more. Loyalty is something that people in this world need to relearn. Also I haven’t called you ANY NAMES, or anyone else on any site ANY NAMES. I said I thought you had a small picture mind. I don’t know anything about you, or what you drive. I however will be 50 this month. I have driven and owned nothing but GM for 38 years now. I had a farm permit to drive at 12 years and drove a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair. My wife, son and I have owned 24 GM vehicles in my 38 years. I can tell you everything that has ever went wrong with any of them, and have most records.
I have had great ones, I have had absolutely terrible ones. But in 38 years still thought GM was what to drive. My grandpa drove GM, GM farm trucks, All GM. We have been a GM family since 1930 something. Don’t even try to tell me you can be more brand loyal than that, you can come visit me I have pictures of Chevrolets back 5 generations. Last I knew you DID NOT own a Cadillac, I have owned 5 and my mom owns 1. How can you have an opinion on Cadillac if you don’t even own 1. I value EVERYONES opinion. I have hundreds of thousands of dollars of stocks, NO GM, but I know what it takes to make money. Like the Cadillac of today I HAVE NEVER made money taking advantage of my customers. The more I take care of my customers the more business I have. Just like GM and Cadillac used to do, once the largest automaker in the WORLD.
Now GM and GM dealers want the MONEY NOW. ABSOUTLY NO LOYALTY. Auto dealers of today will sell you whatever brand they sell. Our local dealer sells Ford and GM. They share all employees except sales. There service advisors, techs, CFO, service manager all work at both places. I have had people at the GM dealer say, you should just go buy a Ford. It used to be you went in the GM dealer you got GM employees. They drove GM there family drove GM you all drove GM.
These days you have lying service managers, ON ETHICS, NO MORALS, and most of all NO LOYALTY. I’m not saying Cadillac should fix everything, but when they KNOW that it is a problem maybe I should get a sorry we know those are shattering. We will buy you the $100.00 digitizer and you can fix this. That is what it cost me, I have it in front of me as I write this. Just because Cadillac dealers charge $1800.00 does NOT mean that is what it would take to keep LOYAL CUSTOMERS happy. BUT you should ASK what it would take, DO SOMTHING. We are talking a $100.00 part for a $48000.00 car.
I have no issues with you! It’s the other moron I don’t see eye to eye with him
I wonder how many new deaths will happen with Tesla’s Autopilot until buyers realize the safety of the car depends on the fact that Super Cruise will not drive itself unless the human driver is watching? Full autonomy is impossible until we have V2V and V2X in every new car, and no more maniac humans on our roads.
I wonder how many deaths will or have happened do to people staring at there shattered CUE screen trying to see where there going on NAV or what radio station they are listening to. SAD
Or rather, you can’t see eye to eye with me because you’re too short.
Smart move by Cadillac. Now they need to hire a team of ex-Apple and ex-Google employees to develop a successor to CUE. Also, have the same employees design instrument panels for Cadillac, which should all be expansive LCD displays. Cadillac’s gauges (and GM’s) are among the worst in the industry, full of tacky fonts and cheesy gimmicks that get in the way of presenting clear information.
They already addressed the CUE issues in the 2019 XT4 and CT6 with:
1. The new-, third-generation infotainment system, which is very fast and has none of the glitchiness of the previous two generations, and
2. The new rotary HMI controllers, which address the complaints of operating a touchscreen with little tactility, thereby leading to great distractions
Have a look at the interior shots here for the rotary knobs interface:
http://gmauthority.com/blog/gallery/2019-cadillac-xt4-pictures/
The gauges on the new Cadillac models are much better as well… though they leave a lot to be desired on the products of other GM brands (Chevy, Buick, GMC). The Not sure Google employees would help here, since they’re not really known for creating anything of beauty – that’s Apple’s specialty. However, I’d argue that neither one is necessary.
What is needed instead is a better focus by GM designers on the quality of the user interface on both the dash/DIC and the infotainment systems. This runs from the top – the design management and leads need to implement this focus top-down. Taking that a step further is the return of divisions within GM. Currently, all models (except for Cadillacs, on occasion) are designed by GM designers and engineered by GM engineers, who are treated like expendable resources that get moved from project to project. Re-organizing GM in a divisional way (by brand) would enable designs and engineers to “live” the brand they work for… thereby developing a much deeper understanding of the brand’s core design values and resulting in truly unique approaches to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac products.
“What is needed instead is a better focus by GM designers on the quality of the user interface on both the dash/DIC and the infotainment systems.”
Exactly. Cue is a disaster because it’s overly complicated with highly questionable UI behavior that makes it flat-out dangerous to use while driving. For example, widgets should never move on an automotive interface because movement draws the driver’s eyes away from the road for too long. Yet Cadillac insists on an interface that changes icon positions as one’s hand draws near.
There should also be minimal lag on a Cadillac GUI so it has a premium feel. The last iteration of CUE lags less but it’s still slow in parts. Totally unacceptable for a Cadillac, or even for a Chevy.
Cadillac simply need to hire a team of gifted developers and cough up the necessary resources for them to succeed. Most importantly, don’t allow meddling by managers without any UX/UI design experience. Too often at GM a know-it-all manager will spoil a great design. This must end.
I drive a 2019 XT5.
The CUE is still an issue.
Never buy a GM – lease a new one every three years forever! Much better deal than Audi lol
Nothing new here !!
I’m sure GM/Cadillac is bending over backwards to try to make the ownership experience the best possible.
I bet they were sorry to hear that you were having trouble and that’s not the ownership experience they were hoping you had.
And I bet you as a CUSTOMER are very important to them.
Just as a fellow human person who has gone through the CUE trouble and had to try to deal with GM and the NO CUSTOMER SERVICE I feel your pain.
