In 2022, that mileage figure jumped up to 400,000. Super Cruise works a little differently than some other ADAS systems, such as Tesla's misleadingly named [Full Self-Driving](), as it only works on predetermined roadways. Now, GM is nearly doubling the system's scope, bumping it up to 750,000 miles across the United States and Canada. This new mileage expansion importantly adds many new minor highways, which helps connect rural towns and roads, in addition to even more major highways. What's more, the update doesn't just include mileage, but also vehicles. The 2024 Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia now get Super Cruise as well, joining cars like the Chevy Tahoe, Blazer EV, Cadillac Escalade, and now even the [Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing](). The new miles will begin to trickle into Super Cruise-capable vehicles through over-the-air updates, but there are a few cars that won't get them—the Cadillac XT6, Cadillac CT6, and Chevy Bolt EUV. For cars that will get the new update, the new full map should be available in about a month. ![]() **General Motors** GM also added some features to SuperCruise, and updated others, such as Lane Change on Demand, Automatic Lane Change, Enhanced Navigation, Hands-Free Trailering, and Improved Curve Handling. While using Super Cruise, the light in the steering wheel rim will light up green and the car will steer, accelerate, brake, and change lanes on its own, as long as you're on a compatible road and paying attention. A camera faces the driver to make sure they're focused on the road and not sleeping, watching a movie, or jumping in the back seat. While Super Cruise isn't the only ADAS system with a visual watchdog, there are some without it. Critics of Super Cruise will complain that it only works on designated roads GM has vetted, limiting its usability, but that GPS mapping is one of the reasons why the system works [as well as it does.]() And with this massive expansion, customers will be able to use it more than ever before. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
