# Roady-Ready Self-Driving Cars GM's 'Super Cruise' System is Debuting in the Cadillac CT6 By Joey Haar | Published 2017-04-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-cruise References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/10/gms-super-cruise-tesla-autopilot-competitor-arrives-in-a-cadillac-this-fall/) & [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2017/4/10/15224516/cadillac-super-cruise-hands-free-ct6-tesla-autopilot) Self-driving cars have been making more and more headlines in recent years, but the new [Super Cruise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gm-super-cruise) autonomous car system doesn't come from the typical locale. When reading about self-driving cars, articles typically have a byline in Silicon Valley, with companies like Tesla and Google dominating the category. However, the new, road-ready Super Cruise system comes not from the west coast, but from the east — Detroit, to be specific. Super Cruise is the product of GM, and the system is set to roll out in the latest model of the Cadillac CT6. Like all road-legal self-driving vehicles currently available, GM's Super Cruise isn't a truly autonomous feature. It can only be activated on "divided, limited-access highways" with "defined 'on' and 'off' ramps," according to [The Verge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verge-ts-pro-motorcycle) via [TechCrunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Self-driving Cars:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing fully autonomous self-driving car systems. - **Autonomous Car Systems:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating advanced autonomous features for road-ready vehicles. - **Road-legal Self-driving Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in improving the capabilities and safety of road-legal self-driving cars. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in integrating self-driving technology into future vehicle models. - **Technology Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing cutting-edge autonomous car systems and software. - **Transportation Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in transforming the way people commute and travel with self-driving cars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Lane-Changing Car Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gm-super-cruise.md) - [Steering Wheel-Free Autonomous Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innerspace.md) - [Automobile Mile Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-cruise-1.md) - [Luxury Self-Driving Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drive-pilot.md) - [TV-Equipped Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-pod-concept.md) - [Self-Driving Cab App Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cruise-service.md) - [Self Driving-Certified Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drive-pilot-1.md) - [Refined Legacy Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-cadillac-ct5.md) - [Groundbreaking Automated Driving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-driving-system.md)
