General Motors has announced additional details for its upcoming driver-assistance platform Ultra Cruise, one day after an executive at its robotaxi subsidiary, Cruise, spoke of plans to cut technology costs. On Tuesday, GM published a press release revealing that its Ultra Cruise system will come equipped with a “unique sensor suite” that gives the vehicle a 360-degree view of its surroundings. The driver-assistance service will debut on the Cadillac CELESTIQ 3 which is expected to go into production this December. “We’ll continue to look at hardware [and] software…and continue to drive cost out as we move forward,” explained West. For now, GM has elected to embrace both driver-assistance and driverless technologies, placing it at the forefront of automotive innovation.
