The 2017 Cadillac model will feature “Super Cruise” technology that takes control of steering, acceleration and braking at highway speeds of 70 miles per hour or in stop-and-go congested traffic, Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra said Sunday in a speech at the Intelligent Transport System World Congress in Detroit. GM declined to release the name of the model that will carry the feature.
Barra also said GM in two years will become the first automaker to equip a model with so-called vehicle-to-vehicle technology that enables the car to communicate with other autos with similar abilities to warn of traffic hazards and improve road safety. GM will make the V2V feature standard on its 2017 Cadillac CTS sedan, debuting in the second half of 2016, she said.

I’ll bet very few of us who have driven cars ourselves will use this technology.
On the other hand, it will be the drunk’s best friend.
Not until we’re forced anyway.
I will never again buy a Government Motors product. They are dead to me.
A Cadillac that BUYS itself is what I want.
When cars go fully autonomous, what will we do in them? Sleep, read, watch TV, eat? It will be akin to train or airplane travel.
Great! At least something will be in control.
Of course, this is the logical extension of OnStar, the ultimate personal tracking system. This makes it much easier for the NSA...
To be followed by a Cadillac that recalls itself, by 2018.
It will need to because I won’t buy one.
I will retain control.
That is all.
Maybe a Cadillac that peels itself off the tree or the Cadillac that extracts itself from under the tractor trailer.
With a hotline to the NSA, Michael Hastings Division.
"We regret the numerous fatalities that have occurred when the occupants lightly nudged the system's ignition unit, causing it to shut off and slam into the nearest object at warp speed. Dealers now have a retrofit, and you should be getting your recall notice any year now, as soon as lawsuits force us to offer it. Thank you for buying Government Motors. Have a nice day!"
In communist Amerika, Cadillac drive you.
GM truly government motors.
Same here 2DV.
I have driven a Chevy all my life. When my last truck (a good one) wore out...I bought a....Honda. Best bang for the buck.
It was a very emotional experience. I still look out in the driveway and wonder whose truck that is.
Same here.
I didn’t even like the cars that “talked” to you. I sure wouldn’t like a car that drove itself.
