General Motors CEO Mary Barra said the automaker remains on track to introduce 'eyes-off, hands-off' driving technology by 2028, starting with the electric Cadillac Escalade IQ before expanding to other models. Unlike the existing Super Cruise system, which requires drivers to stay attentive, the new system is designed to let drivers take their eyes off the road under certain conditions. Barra said she recently tested it and was impressed by its improvement since an earlier ride in March. GM exited its Cruise robotaxi business in December 2024 after spending more than $10 billion and redirected resources to autonomy for consumer-owned vehicles. Barra also argued that autonomous vehicles would not eliminate personal car ownership, as people still value having a vehicle they can use whenever they want.
