What is Super Cruise®, and does it actually work the way the commercials make it look? Moran Chevrolet in Clinton Township, MI, gets asked about it frequently. Here is a breakdown of how it works and where its limits are.
The Map Behind the Magic
More than 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the United States and Canada is what Super Cruise® relies on to hand you hands-free control, using GPS positioning and high-precision map data layered with camera input. Adaptive Cruise Control handles the spacing to the vehicle ahead while the system manages steering.
You Are Still Fully in Control
A camera on the steering wheel tracks your head and eye position the entire time Super Cruise® is active, and a green light bar confirms it is watching along with you. The system is not self-driving; grabbing the wheel, tapping the brake, or pressing the Super Cruise button all end hands-free mode instantly.
Where the Technology Draws a Line
Select Chevrolet model lines currently offer Super Cruise®, and every new vehicle includes three years of the connectivity needed to run it before monthly plan takes over. The system will not stop for traffic lights, detect cross traffic, or dodge obstacles, so it still depends on you for anything outside its mapped lane.
