SUPER CRUISE DOMINATES OUR DRIVER ASSISTANCE CHALLENGE!

EV Channels Review

The GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate equipped with Super Cruise is put to the test on the challenging Hogback Driver Assistance Challenge. The system demonstrates impressive driving feel and comfort, often outperforming other systems when it functions correctly, particularly in its ability to hold a line through corners and execute smooth lane changes. The reviewer highlights Super Cruise's advanced eye-tracking and hands-free capability as a significant advantage. However, a major drawback is its limitation to pre-mapped highways, rendering it unusable on many roads. The system also struggled and disengaged in the most challenging, twisty sections of the Hogback, requiring driver intervention. Despite these limitations, Super Cruise achieved a strong score, outperforming the i4, due to its superior performance when active and fewer required takeovers compared to other systems tested. The reviewer expresses a strong desire for GM to expand Super Cruise's functionality to non-mapped highways with basic lane centering to make it a truly best-in-class system.
