How Does Chevy Super Cruise Work?

Chevy Super Cruise is a driver assistance technology that uses precision LiDAR map data as well as real-time cameras, sensors, and GPS to deliver a hands-free driving experience. With Super Cruise being added to more and more vehicles it’s important to understand how it works and how to use it responsibly.

Walt Massey Chevy Buick GMC Columbia is here to break down everything you need to know about the Super Cruise feature.

For starters, Super Cruise is only available on compatible roads. Most times these roads are separated from traffic and going in the opposite direction. To determine the location of the vehicle, Super Cruise uses GPS and real-time map data. The Lane Sensing Camera detects marked lanes on the road to help steer and keep the vehicle’s lane position.

By working with your vehicle’s Adaptive Cruise Control system Super Cruise is able to:

• Detect vehicles in your path
• Accelerate or brake your vehicle based in traffic conditions around you
• Keep a driver-selected following gap time from a vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions

Super Cruise also uses a Driver Attention System while it’s engaged to monitor the system status and detect your head and eye positioning. It also reminds you to pay attention to the road ahead and steer manually when needed.

Although Super Cruise provides a hands-free driving experience it is important to note that you must pay attention while driving at all times and never use a hand-held device while driving. Super Cruise also requires a working electrical system, cell reception, and GPS signal to operate.
