General Motors is advancing its driver assist technology toward 'eyes-off' autonomous driving with the next-generation Super Cruise system launching on the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ electric SUV. GM is heavily using immersive simulation testing to evaluate driver behavior and the system's response to complex road scenarios.
