GM plans to extend eyes-off highway driving to pickups and large SUVs

GM previously set 2028 for autonomous highway driving on the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ. The company now says the system will expand to pickups and other large SUVs, but it did not give a timetable for those additional models.

A new in-house software backbone and central computer are intended to support remote updates and paid digital features. Reuters noted that systems which return control to a human driver still raise unresolved safety and liability questions.
