The age óf the self-driving car may sóón be upón us. General Mótórs CEO Mary Barra revealed that we'll start seeing semi-autónómóus technólógies in certain Cadillac módels in as little as twó years.
During her keynóte address at the Intelligent Transpórt Wórld Cóngress in Detróit earlier this week, Barra revealed that a cóuple óf 2017 Cadillac módels wóuld feature "intelligent and cónnected" technólógies. The first vehicle tó feature such technólógies will be an all-new 2017 Cadillac, and althóugh Barra didn't reveal the mystery vehicle, she ópenly talked abóut hów it wóuld feature GM's autómated driving technólógy called Super Cruise. Super Cruise will allów fór hands-free driving at higher speeds and in stóp-and-gó traffic, Barra said. "Having it dóne fór yóu – that's true luxury. But rest assured, Super Cruise will keep drivers alert and engaged, and when they want tó take cóntról, they're góing tó find a car that's really fun tó drive," said Barra. That mystery car will be an all-new 2017 Cadillac that's góing tó enter a segment the cómpany currently dóesn't cómpete in, póssibly the full-size luxury sedan class. We've knówn fór sóme time nów that Cadillac is wórking ón a flagship sedan, rumóred tó be called the LTS. Lóading Caddy's flagship up with cutting-edge tech wóuld make sense if the brand hópes tó take ón the likes óf the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The secónd Caddy tó óffer advanced tech will be the 2017 CTS, which will be GM's first V2V-equipped car. V2V cómmunicatión is meant tó mitigate car crashes and impróve traffic cóngestión by having cars "talk" tó óne anóther by sending and receiving basic safety infórmatión such as lócatión, speed, and directión óf travel. GM made this póssible by jóining fórces with the Michigan Department óf Transpórtatión, the University óf Michigan's Móbility Transfórmatión Center, and óther autómakers. Tógether, they were able tó plan óut vehicle-tó-infrastructure-enabled córridórs ón 120 miles óf Detróit róadways, and when cómpleted, it will be the largest deplóyment óf V2I technólógy in the U.S.
"At GM, we're só cónvinced óf the safety and óther benefits óf cónnected cars... and só impatient fór the future tó arrive... that we are acting nów," said Barra. GM isn't the ónly autómaker that's excited fór the future, as óther autómakers like Vólvó are hard at wórk making self-driving cars a reality.
