Automated lane changes can only be done under certain conditions when the driver fully latches the turn signal. The Super Cruise system will also inform a driver if it is able to change lance, or if the lane change needs to be done manually. The new capabilities will operate using LiDAR mapping, as well as GPS, a radar system, and cameras. The system will compile information from the sensors to determine if a safe lane change can be accomplished. Other new Super Cruise features include more detailed mapping displays, as well as enhanced speed and steering control software.
