Autonomous Hands-Off Driving Coming to GM 1st to 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ

At GM Forward, the GM’s annual technology showcase in New York, Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson GM’s eyes-off system will start on an updated 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ and then spread to GM’s best-selling gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickups, followed by crossovers.

Cadillac Escalade IQ Sets the Starting Line GM first committed to eyes-off driving a year ago, on October 22, 2025, naming the all-electric Escalade IQ as the launch vehicle for 2028.

The vehicles GM sells in volume are its gas-powered full-size trucks and SUVs, and the company’s decision to bring eyes-off driving to them changes the commercial footing of the program.

GM’s Aamir Ali told KTLA that the aim of eyes-off driving is to lift the mental load of highway driving.

Alongside the driving system, GM said a single OnStar app will replace its four brand apps and OnStar Guardian in 2027, with an OnStar AI assistant arriving first on the 2027 Cadillac LYRIQ through an over-the-air update.
