Advanced Vehicle Technologies Set For 2017 Cadillac Models

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – When it comes to self-driving vehicles, advances in the technology needed for them make headlines here and there but it still seems futuristic to most. However, to General Motors the reality isn't far off! In a recent address, the automaker announced advanced vehicle technologies are set for select 2017 Cadillac models!

Some of you may be excited to hear the news while others may be freaking out at the thought of this type of technology, so let's break it down. Simply put, the advanced technologies set for select 2017 Cadillac models will actually work to keep you safer since they will make the vehicles more intelligent and connected. In the address at the Intelligent Transport System World Congress in Detroit, Mary Barra outlined two of the additions: Super Cruise and Vehicle to Vehicle Communication.

Super Cruise is the name General Motors is using to refer to their automated driving technology. Attentive drivers will be able to utilize Super Cruise to enjoy hands-off lane following, braking and speed control in certain highway conditions including both bumper-to-bumper traffic and long drives. Additionally, as you enjoy a more comfortable ride with Super Cruise, the Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication technology will work to keep you safe. By sending and receiving basic safety information from one vehicle to another (location, speed, etc.), the technology can prevent traffic collisions and improve congestion by warning drivers and supplementing some of the already available active safety features like forward collision warning.

Thought of driverless cars can be frightening, and while the advanced vehicle technologies set for 2017 Cadillac models are one step closer to that, they have been designed to help people live their lives more safely. Since the new technology isn't set to hit the market until 2017, we have some time to get adjusted.
