What is Chevy Super Cruise® and How Does it Work?
If you've spent any time researching Chevrolet automobiles, you're likely familiar with the name Chevy Super Cruise®. This groundbreaking hands-free driver assistance technology made its debut in the Chevrolet lineup on the 2022 Chevy Silverado, and since then has expanded to multiple other vehicles. At Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen, we'll show you how the system works and why it's a must-have feature for your next Chevy vehicle.
What is Chevy Super Cruise?
Super Cruise® is a landmark automotive innovation and the first true hands-free driver assistance technology. Since its debut, it's earned massive praise - most recently, it won the MotorTrend Best Hands-Free Driving Tech award for 2025. Currently, Super Cruise is compatible with more than 300 million miles of roads across North America.
It's important to note that Super Cruise doesn't facilitate 100% autonomous driving. In other words, when you buy a new car or one of our trucks for sale with Super Cruise, there are still aspects of driving that you'll need to actively participate in. For example, while Super Cruise allows for hands-free driving on compatible roads, you'll still need to pay close attention to the road and set your smartphone aside.
How Does Super Cruise Work?
Super Cruise works via a sophisticated combination of GPS sensing, GPS-enhanced data, high-precision mapping, and a network of in-car cameras. By leveraging all of these high-tech features, Super Cruise provides automatic control of vehicle steering and lane positioning. Super Cruise also works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which detects nearby vehicles and can automatically accelerate or brake your car to maintain a safe following-gap time. This works in both open-road and stop-and-go traffic conditions.
Another important component of Super Cruise is its Driver Attention System. This not only provides feedback on real-time system status, but also track's the driver's head position. When necessary, it will alert the driver to pay close attention to the road and engage in manual steering. This may sound complicated, but our Harlingen, TX Chevy dealers will explain everything when you're onsite and behind the wheel with us.
