Autonomous

A combination of lawsuits and crashes show that these systems aren’t as great or safe as they’re being made out to be.

Lucid has announced plans for further development of its autonomous-driving system in cooperation with chipmaker Nvidia that will ultimately enable what the companies term “mind-off” driving.

GM will debut the next generation of its Super Cruise hands-free semi-autonomous driving tech, which will allow for eyes-off driving, in the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ.

Tesla was found partially liable for the role its Autopilot system played in a fatal 2019 crash in Florida.

A new study suggests that drivers using partially autonomous driving tech that disengages when they make steering corrections are less likely to grab the wheel in tense situations than those whose systems remain engaged with driver input.

The 2024 U.S. Tech Experience Index Study suggests buyers of new vehicles are “becoming overwhelmed with technology features that don’t solve a problem, don’t work, are difficult to use or are just too limited in functionality.”

Tesla is cutting the upfront price of its semi-autonomous driving system, from $12,000 to $8,000.

The monthly subscription required to maintain the Full Self-Driving system is dropping to less than $100 a month.

In a battery of tests evaluating driver-assist features for seven different parameters, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave not one of 14 tested systems its top rating of good.

GM’s Super Cruise network is growing from 400,000 miles of roads to 750,000.
