New 2022 GMC Sierra Goes Hands-Free with Super Cruise
2021-07-23
OSHAWA, Ont. (Friday, July 23, 2021) – The new 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 arrives this fall, featuring significant updates to design, capability and technology – including the latest version of Super Cruise1 available on the Sierra Denali.
On the GMC Sierra, Super Cruise introduces the capability to trailer while driving hands-free on divided and compatible highways, along with the new automatic lane change feature.
Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free driver-assistance system, utilizes a driver attention system and precision LiDAR generated map data in addition to real-time cameras, sensors and GPS. The driver attention system uses a small camera located on the top of the steering column and works with infrared lights to determine where the driver is looking whenever Super Cruise is in operation. If the driver attention system detects the driver has turned their gaze away from the road ahead for too long, the steering wheel light bar will prompt the driver to return their attention to the road.
1Even while using the Super Cruise driver assistance feature for divided and compatible roads, always pay attention while driving and do not use a hand-held device. Requires properly equipped vehicle, active Super Cruise subscription, working electrical system, cell reception, and GPS signal.
