They should renamed it to "Super Cruise"




Huh. I still don't like that it doesn't require hands on the wheel (I fell like a creative person could trick the eye tracking). But unlike the Tesla, it does have LIDAR.


> a creative person could trick the eye tracking

People have already started to bypass hand requirements by placing a weight on the steering wheel . At a certain point, you can't really blame the manufacturer when the driver is actively trying to defeat safety features put in place for their own good.


Sure you can, because those features aren't just there for the driver's own good: they protect all the other people on the road.


Don't forget, a big part is absolving the car manufacturer of liability.
