The addition of Super Cruise to the Silverado and Sierra, and BlueCruise to the F-150, will bring these technologies (which might be old hat to Tesla owners) to an entirely new market of flyover truck buyers. To test out the new stuff, GMC had me out to GM’s Milford Proving Grounds to play with the new Super Cruise on the facility’s 4.5-mile banked circle track. Security at the facility is tight and our cameras were either confiscated or, in the case of my iPhone, covered in obnoxious red security tape.

An off-road test drive reveals Toyota's new Cruiser is capable of tackling trails too tough for a crossover SUV. Whether you're on a camping trip or need a rest far from home, these cars have enough interior space and comfort for a decent snooze. GM intends to make Super Cruise as widely available as possible and keep expanding the service, so it becomes about trusting GM to keep pushing and improving its product. If the stars are aligned, and the freeways you use regularly are covered, it's a great addition to a car, but its limitations need to be understood and taken into account. When it's available, and the road markings are reasonably maintained, Super Cruise is excellent.

As our destination was also 869 miles from my New York City apartment, this trip proved the perfect occasion to put GMC’s most tricked-out SUV, the Yukon Denali Ultimate, through its paces. On a road trip deep into Canada with the loaded GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate, one big thing stands out. If an Adaptive Cruise Control speed was not previously set, Super Cruise will set your current speed as the cruise speed.

Super Cruise does not steer to prevent a crash with stopped or slow-moving vehicles. You must supervise the driving task and may need to steer and brake to prevent a crash, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly enters your lane. Additionally, Super Cruise should never be used under difficult or uncertain driving conditions.

Each manufacturer designs and develops features that may or may not perform equivalently due to differences in sensors used, data interpretation, and other vehicle mechanizations.

While Super Cruise is currently the best and safest autonomous feature available, it's not perfect. But, given the performance of Super Cruise in our own real-world testing and the company’s conservative, take-it-slow approach to rolling out the feature across its lineup, we expect the new features to work as advertised. One thing that really stands out is something the YDU didn’t do, which is leave me feeling totally exhausted upon arrival at our lodgings after some 14 hours on the road. That says a ton for both the comfy interior and certainly for Super Cruise. It’s pretty awesome to endure such a punishing drive and wake up the next morning refreshed and ready to tackle a mountain. That’s the decision three buddies and I made when we chose to check this locale — which serves as a base camp for some pretty killer backcountry skiing and splitboarding in the Chic-Choc Mountains — off the bucket list.

Does the Super Cruise system turn my car into an autonomous vehicle?

On properly equipped vehicles, Super Cruise can steer to perform a single lane change under certain conditions,† if Lane Change On Demand capability is enabled in the vehicle’s Settings menu. Learn how Super Cruise works and how to use it responsibly on vehicles equipped with this feature. Automatic updates via your OnStar plan will occur for the latest Super Cruise road availability information. In the event that a map update is not completed within seven months, Super Cruise will be disabled. I started with simple cruise control and adaptive braking, which is pretty handy for giving your foot a rest on the highway.

However, when traffic started building, things weren't so smooth, and the asshole drivers came out to play. Then, you pull out to pull an overtaking maneuver at 65 mph, preparing to go past both. Suddenly, one of the cars decides also to join the overtaking lane, and Super Cruise reacts and keeps you safe by braking, but it's very sudden. After a moment, the car beeped at me and popped up a message warning of the impending lane change and the vehicle swiftly moved to the left lane while simultaneously accelerating back up to my 70mph set speed. It wasn’t a dramatic move, but it was impressive to watch it in action.

When Super Cruise is engaged, move the turn signal in the direction of the lane you’d like to change to. You do not need to fully latch the turn signal to activate Lane Change On Demand. It is recommended that you download your current lightbox contents and clear its assets to add more. For more about Super Cruise and how it works visit GM.com/safedeployment.

Then, at the touch of a button, the light bar on the steering wheel illuminated blue and then green, and Super Cruise was happening. The new roads have already started to be added incrementally over-the-air, at no additional charge, and will continue to be added through 2025. Most Super Cruise-equipped vehicles will receive this expansion except for the Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Bolt EUV and Cadillac XT6.

Giuseppe handled half of the miles and learned firsthand that Super Cruise has little tolerance for smartphone-addled drivers. He told me that while I was napping in the back, he texted one too many times — the system completely shut down and made him wait several minutes to engage Super Cruise again. Verify the lane next to your vehicle is clear and conditions are safe to make a lane change. O If this occurs, an OnStar Emergency-Certified Advisor† will contact you to ensure that you are safe and are paying attention to the road. On these vehicles, when you turn Super Cruise off, these features will revert to the settings you had previously set for them. On other vehicles, your settings for these features will remain set, even if you turn your vehicle off and on again.

There are caveats and limitations, which we'll get into, but that's the overview. The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is not eligible for the full expansion and will receive an additional 20,000 miles of compatible roads (about 220,000 total), which does not include non-divided highways. Experience more than 200,000 miles of compatible roads in the U.S. and Canada in Bolt EUV and more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads for other select Super Cruise enabled Chevy vehicles†.

I took the Sierra out onto the facility’s “highway” and a GM engineer followed in a chase car. After setting Super Cruise to 70mph, I settled in for a nice hands-free drive in a large circle.
