What Is Super Cruise® and How Does It Work in Chevrolet Vehicles?

What is Super Cruise® like on a long stretch of highway such as I-10, and is it really as smooth as it looks? Wes Haney Chevrolet in Live Oak, FL, fields that exact question from customers planning long road trips. Here is what’s happening while the system runs.

Your Eyes Never Leave the System’s Radar

A steering-wheel-mounted camera watches your eyes and head position continuously, and Super Cruise® will not stay active if your attention drifts. The moment you grab the wheel, tap the brake, or press the Super Cruise button, hands-free mode ends immediately, since the system is built to assist rather than replace you.

A Road Network Built for Hands-Free Driving

Behind that monitoring sits a mapped network of more than 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the United States and Canada, built from GPS positioning, precision map data, and onboard cameras working with Adaptive Cruise Control. Without that mapping data, the system simply will not engage, no matter how clear the road looks.

What the System Still Leaves to You

Traffic lights, cross traffic, and sudden obstacles all fall outside what Super Cruise® can respond to, so intersections and construction zones still need you fully engaged. Select Chevrolet model lines currently offer the technology depending on trim and configuration.
