Yeah, I'm not sure how Tesla is considered behind this... There's some nice things about this, but even his comment at @3:30 seems to highlight the limitations being an issue and it not being clear enough to the driver. From what I could find, it seems that the features needed for this will add up to $6,150 and then you'll need a $300-$540/yr sub to OnStar. (But you get the first 3 years for free possibly.) I suppose that's competitive pricing, but I wonder if you have to go to the dealership if they add more "mapped" roads and what that costs to upgrade... I wonder how it performs when there's road work or other less predictable situations. I'm also disappointed that it doesn't actually do any lane changes. It's awesome that these systems are getting so good, but it's very strange that Consumer Reports would rate this so high since it's clearly less feature-rich.
Same. Super cruise doesn’t navigate highway changes. So how is it better consumer reports? Tesla won’t need attention aware IR sensors once FSD arrives . 4head
Probably including factors like reliability. The full-trip self-driving demos you see on youtube that are directly from Tesla are not on vehicles you can buy, they are limited on fully mapped roads.
@@johnvincent8730 people have been posting full length trips using the FSD beta recently, look it up. Its amazing to see. We are truly less than a year from tesla having the capability to do full self driving with less accidents per mile than human drivers. Gm won't have such rapid development of their systems as tesla has. Given that tesla owners are more selfless people than gm owners, and will provide data even at the risk crashing their car. Additionally even if the roads were mapped on old tesla vids, they weren't mapped with lidar scanners, considering tesla argues against their use. The only way a road is pre mapped is by having other tesla's drive down it and record what their 8 cameras and radar sensors see about the road, which of course, will probably be at least 80% as accurate as laser scanning. Lidar can't see color or texture, and it's probably higher latency than using a regular camera which record the same type of information, light. Teslas are all connected and continuously 'map' every surface they drive over. Lidar scanning is redundant and realistically, it's unnecessary.
@@johnvincent8730 any tesla you buy is capable of full self driving if you sign up for the full self driving beta, at which point it will fully drive itself, stop lights and all. Still has work to be done, but the finish line is within sight
Yeah i saw that and thats why im here to watch how Tesla is a “distant second”. Its actually the other way around lmao. Even autopilot is better than this
Does Super Cruise interface with a planned GPS route? Yes, it needs to be on mapped highways, but there are many highways that split and are not really intersections. Stay in the left lane to merge onto I-95 or stay in the right lane to merge onto I-495, for example. Does Super Cruise handle these transitions? Also, what about EZ-Pass? Here on the East coast, we have high-speed EZ-Pass lanes. Just get to the left and you go through the EZ-Pass "toll booth" at highway speeds. Is this supported?
They are so triggered, and what’s hilarious is they still can’t figure out why this is ranked higher than Tesla’s killer system. If that doesn’t sum up Tesla customers than nothing will. Lol
This system can only drive on mapped roads.. Tesla can drive everywhere and they are training a generalist ai that will be capable of driving on any road in any country. Autopilot is statistically less likely to cause a crash than a human driver per mile. Tesla 'fanboys' don't exist. There are realists that accept the technological superiority of tesla in terms of both hardware and software.
Like super cruise will change lanes if you use the blinker. This capability is included in every tesla for free. If you option FSD in a tesla, it will fully drive itself from location to location. like it will drive around cars and stuff. Its not perfect yet but ai doesn't learn slow. Watch videos of the lastest full self driving beta to see just how far ahead tesla actually is.
@@mybro727 mapping every road on the planet is an unreasonable solution to this problem. Artificial intelligence is more useful as a universal solution. You clearly don't understand technology.
The fact is that tesla's computer vision and radar based autopilot will be as safe or safer than the systems from other manufacturers. A well trained car with computer vision can see and react to a deer jumping in the road. What will a super cruise car driving a pre mapped route do?
Does supercruise integrate with the vehicle navigation system? Like would it choose the correct split/turn from one divided highway to another map divided highway if the navigation system had a destination programmed? And when will supercruise be available on the next Silverado or Sierra 3500?
Supercruise is not there yet for me. It requires too much dedicated focus to the point where you may as well be driving yourself. Think you're going to gaze at the passing landscape from time to time. Think again! The system from what I learned holds your eyes and head hostage.
Tesla's are premapped as well besides autopilot which will drive straight through an intersection if you are not paying attention, and self center the vehicle with a merging lane. Tesla has great ingenuity but lacks safety.
@@bigbossaj7029 autopilot automatically stops at any traffic control for now. In the next 3 months it will use traffic controls correctly, considering the FSD beta can already stop at red lights and go when it's green.
@@illuminated2438 that is a weakness. Tesla's have been doing this for years and are statistically less likely to be in an accident than a human driver. Any tesla can match the capability of super cruise on any highway or street, for free. Autopilot is included.. You can option full self driving and then the car can navigate and drive from location to location. By the end of the year it will be more capable and safe than the average driver.
I just got my 2021 Platinum Sport Escalade on Saturday (1 week ago today) Mine has Super Cruise. I tried it out on the road and it would not change lanes even when it was clear. I put my blinker on and it said something like "driver has to lane change" or "driver has to lane change" I can't remember exactly what it said, but will have to try it again. I just know it would not change lanes when I put on my blinker even though the lane was clear. I hear I am the only one that has this vehicle with supercruise in a 500 mi radius. Only me and someone in Dublin Ca. So I do get a lot of people asking me questions about this. My Cadillac salesperson and his manager have no answers for any of my questions.
Consumer Reports should add a category for advertising spending. That would be more honest (Tesla doesn't buy advertising). Regarding who's closest to FSD: 1. Tesla got highest score for raw capability, of the five categiries, this is the only score on the test relevant to proximity to FSD. Driver interaction, while important for safety prior to FSD, is not relevant to reaching FSD. 2.GM Supercruise is limited geographically to a limied number of specific premapped freeways (a limitation as consequence of using LIDAR). Tesla Autopilot works on all freeways and city streets, as will FSD.
Super cool. 2 things though. I def smell “but the car did it” speeding/reckless driving tickets or worse; fatal wrecks ala Tesla. OR an excuse for ppl to go get drunk and “drive” home. Understand it’s only setup for mapped Interstates right now but in 5-10 yrs every crack on every road will be mapped by Google. Interesting. Only available on Caddies? How much extra? What if there’s road construction 🚧??
@@autosjaviermota Tesla just released fsd in some of its cars. Autopilot has logged multi millions of miles and works on basically any street. GMs only works on approved premapped highways
@@autosjaviermota Consumers Report says that does not make it TRUE! We know GM pays millions on marketing, and some of them will go to Consumers Report😂😂
I am sorry but most of the new views you will get to see the differences between this and tesla. And. What you have is not even close compare to what tesla have.
@@ccrrintonwright313 it cant be used anywhere as much as teslas vastly superior tech can. 200k miles vs billions available to tesla means you statistically can drive farther without issue in a tesla, and teslas are much safer. Thousands of rollovers happen in escalades that never happen in telsa. not even close.
The green/red LED light is so disturbing and annoying. It's the only thing that keeps me from not buying it. I don't want to drive with a LED light in my face. It's stupid. In addition, you have constant flashing red LED dots in your face. Also, I understand the use of a camera to monitor eyes, but having a constant INFRARED camera pointing to my eyes balls, I'm sure it's dangerous with long term use.
LOL, people hating on this because it was ranked ahead of Tesla. I've driven both and this is FAR better than Tesla, which nags you to wiggle the wheel so much (even when you're holding the wheel) that it makes using its autopilot about as stressful as just self driving yourself. While Cadillac doesn't work everywhere, where it does work, it shines. Tesla, on the other hand, just "kind of" works everywhere. I'd rather have a highly functional system that works very well on some roads, than one that struggles everywhere.
@@jeske4337 like the inability to stop at stoplights? you almost sounded like you had a functioning brain for a second until you started typing. SC is a joke from 2015 and cant even activate until the USER centers the car first. teslas ate lightyears ahead.
I can see that Super Cruise is an enhanced cruise control. This is NOT Autopilot at all. For CR credits, I'm guessing they evaluated "cruise controls" so for that reason perhaps they really didn't see a good fit of Tesla Autopilot. Btw, Super Cruise to me is not that much better than many other manufacturers' offering.
A camera in your car monitoring everything you do. And the system is connected to the internet of course. Wow. Can we have these cool self drive capabilities without all the surveillance crap? I don't need Cadillac to tell me when I turn my head, I know what my head is doing. And I'm certainly not going to pay top dollar for a car that collects all these data. If they want to monitor us and - let's be real here - exploit the profiles they create commercially sooner or later, they should pay us, not the other way around.
and my cybertruck will tow 14,000 lbs autonomously and drive where I point to on a map without me in it. Sorry potrol boys, but ya got nothin. Wake me when your Denali can stop at stop signs or center itself in lases like cars kn 2015 have been doing.
no one cares that CR doesn't "bow down" to musk, they care about accuracy. And CR has yet to review one sjngle escalade that can stop at a simple stop sign or activate without the user centering the damn car first. 2008 wants its ancient tech back.
Sounds like they are pretty far behind even Open autopilot projects. Par for the course for GM. And it's only available in a very limited area and on their most expensive car. Grade: D-
Cool now they just need to put it in cars. Except they’re GM so they are blowing their lead by not putting it in their products for the last 4 years, except the dead and overpriced CT6. Notice how even the press Escalades don’t have Super Cruise, and the CT4/5 still don’t have it either.
The Tesla system is far superior, but they need a plan to make it hands free. As a consumer, I would rather use super cruise. The most practical application is for long highway driving.
It only works on roads that have been seen before? It doesn’t change lanes, turn nor stop at lights for you? So basically “super cruise” is a huge waste of money. And that’s an Escalade. The top brand of Cadillac. Shouldn’t the basic parts of super cruise like lane change turns and stopping at Red lights be included for a vehicle with the asking price of almost $100,000? Do better GM.
First of all “Escalade” is the model, Cadillac is the brand. The SC system here in the brand’s flagship SUV is actually better than the system in the Cadillac CT6. The Escalade always gets the new tech first before any other model because of it’s price range and the fact it’s the flagship. Secondly, Super Cruise is literally the best handsfree semi-autonomous driving technology currently available in the U.S. and Canada. BMW is now following Cadillac’s lead with the same philosophy in semi-autonomous driving technology. The new BMW X7 now offers a similar system to SC, but it isn’t quiet as polished as this. It has very little to do with GM needing to “do better” and more to do with laws, regulations, and the fact that Americans aren’t ready for autonomous driving in the city which can be much more dangerous. Americans are just beginning to trust these systems on the Highway. Do some research then comment.
@@mybro727 have you driven both the Super Cruise and Tesla FSD? I’ve put 5000 miles on my Tesla Model Y with FSD and can assure you it does much better than what’s shown here. And with over the air updates I’ve experienced continuous improvements and many added features. That said, I don’t do stupid stuff like text and take naps when driving. It would be interesting to see the safety records for both systems and compare in real world situations. Consumer Reports is a big advocate of the “Nanny State” where no one has to develop any skill or knowledge other than to depend on Big Brother.
@@aytchroberts5850 Safety records? Now _that’s_ where things get very interesting. No, i have not personally experienced Tesla’s beta FSD but that’s just an expensive extension of AutoPilot, a system already proven to be potentially fatal. I don’t care how much more Tesla’s FSD system can physically do, it still isn’t a level 5 fully autonomous system and it surely isn’t one that I’d trust with either my life nor the life of anyone I care about. They simply haven’t done enough to ensure the system is safe IMO. “Beta” meaning anyone brave enough to use this system right now are *literally* lab rats. My thing is SAFETY should be the first priority, and _then_ convenience when we’re talking about lives. Cadillac goes about achieving the same goal of autonomous driving differently than Tesla and I think the main differentiating factor is GM’s priority of safety over capability. I’d hope FSD is an improvement over regular AP and I’m sure it is to some degree, but it’s Elon’s priorities that scare me. Cadillac’s SC system requires compatible roadways, clearly visible lane markings, Forward Collision System to be active, and will only engage if the Driver Attention Camera detects the operator is paying attention to the road ahead of them. If just 1 of these requirements aren’t met the system will NOT engage. If GM’s Teen Driver mode is enabled, ACC will remain available but the Super Cruise system will NOT engage. Consumer Reports ranked Tesla’s AutoPilot first in a “Capabilities & Performance” sub-category, but called it a “distant second” behind Cadillac’s Super Cruise in 2020. Maybe it has something to do with Tesla’s system being linked to multiple deaths, while Cadillac’s Super Cruise is living up to GM’s vision of zero emissions, zero congestion, and *zero crashes.* Super Cruise taking credit for the latter with a spotless record since it’s debut.
This is Way Worse than Tesla, Fsd can go everywhere. This is essentially adaptive cruise with improved lane assit. EDIT:The only thing Tesla could learn from is the system the monitos the drivers attention on the road
Yeah, the driver attention monitoring is what GM does better than Tesla. Otherwise it's barely a contest in Tesla's favor. This is basically the enhanced Autopilot system that you get on all new Teslas nowadays, unless I'm mistaken.
not always, you have to still be "in control" of the car. tesla autopilot is good but it doesn't do that. it will slow to a stop if you completely ignore the prompts, in your lane. not good on a busy highway. the bottom line is you have to be ready to take control at any time while using autopilot. just keep a hand on the wheel and eyes forward and everybody lives. :)
Not even close to what Tesla does. If anything this makes me think Consumer Reports is extremely biased. Call me when you can make a left hand turn in a busy intersection 99.999% of the time.
Super cruise is good but Tesla autopilot work on any road with strips & it's a default option you get with the car while super cruise isn't. C'mon guys even Genesis's system is also default option you get with the car & it's cheap
I've used the tesla system, and it is not all that nice. Supercruise completely dominated. Sorry Tesla/Elon fanboys, The Cadillac system is vastly superior to Tesla's.
