GM's 2017 Cadillac CTS sedan self-driving car would drive freely without the input of a human driver by using GM's ''Super Cruise'' technology. The Super Cruise technology would take control of the steering, acceleration, stopping-and-going in heavy traffic and braking at high speed. Though GM said a human driver will always be at the wheel in case of an ''unplanned event.'' The technology could alert other cars of a possible congestion through a heads-up display on the car's windshield( As seen below)
The vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology in the autonomous car will allow it to communicate with other vehicles on the road, in other words, send basic information such as the car's location, speed etc. thereby reducing traffic and fatalities.
GM is also reportedly teaming up with fellow automaker Ford, the University of Michigan and the Michigan department of Transport to construct highly ''intelligent'' roads in Detroit that can communicate with the robotic vehicles by way of cameras and sensors.
I take a dip sigh. I just hope that as GM is looking to become the first auto maker to outfit self-driving cars with V-2-V technology, it doesn't become the first to recall a self-driving car.
