According to official details, the Ultra Cruise system aimed to provide hands-free driving in 95 percent of all driving scenarios. It equips a 360-degree view, a host of cameras, short and long-range radars, LiDAR, and a computing system.

It also supports a driver attention system to monitor the driver’s head position and eyes to check eye activity on the road. Last year, GM said Ultra Cruise “will be able to travel truly hands-free” across public roads in the U.S. and Canada.

A GM official said that the automaker continues to expand access to and increase the capability of Super Cruise.
