I think it is a precursor to releasing Ultra Cruise. If it is, Ultra Cruise will be available on a lot of US roads based on that expansion map.
They are carefully expanding supported roads and capability. Super Cruise used to only work on limited divided highways but after the update it will now work on non-divided state and federal highways / routes that connect smaller cities and towns. In theory, now Super Cruise should take you from Chicago to Los Angeles. It's good to see some tangible progress from GM in their ADAS. Using high-definition maps that is scalable for all paved roads in a country.Before and after Super Cruise Expansion:

Thanks for connecting the dots. I now remember the Ultra Cruise press release 10 months ago:
"Designed to ultimately enable hands-free driving in 95 percent of all driving scenarios, Ultra Cruise eventually can be used on every paved road in the U.S. and Canada."
Super Cruise, the “hands-free” advanced driver-assist system (ADAS) from General Motors, will soon be available on a lot more roads in North America. GM announced today that, later this year, the ADAS system will be able to operate on 400,000 miles of roads, including non-divided highways — which would essentially double Super Cruise’s current coverage in the US and Canada.
"Hands off" and "SAE level 2" at the same time sounds like an enourmous risk. Add non-divided highways... Wonder what GM is thinking.

In addition, Super Cruise cannot handle traffic signals and stop signs, meaning that the system will notify the driver when an intersection is 350 meters away (or 500 meters for non-VIP vehicles) so they can take control of the vehicle. And Super Cruise will not allow automatic lane changes on two-lane highways. In other words, it won’t cross either broken yellow or solid yellow lane markings.
That was a divided highway, just not controlled access. That stretch of US-27A is added to Super Cruise in this update. There is no traffic light at the intersection with NE 140th Ct. I don't know how GM would handle a truck (or car, etc.) turning across their path. They can't hand off control 500m before every intersection -- they're spaced a lot closer than that on most of that road.Non-divided highways might get into a similar accident as the first documented Tesla Autopilot fatal accident in 2016: The car would not stop for a semi-truck crossing the road in front.
Thanks for the correction, as I was confused.That was a divided highway, just not controlled access.

According to Aurora (NASDAQ: AUR) CEO and Co-Founder Chris Urmson, the company now expects to have a commercial trucking platform available in the first half of 2024, a pushback from its original intent to offer the platform before the end of 2023. Urmson made the announcement during the company’s Q2 earnings call on Wednesday.
Urmson cited current supply chain-related constraints and other challenges facing the trucking industry more broadly as some of the reasons for the delay.
Joshua Brown had a Mobileye car. My best guess is it only used the camera for lane lines and used radar lock for car-following. The tendency to plow into stopped vehicles tells me that system was not trained to recognize vehicle rear ends. Early non-Mobileye AP worked the same way, IMHO.In 2016, the Tesla camera was trained to recognize the rear of vehicles and not the sides.
Motional, a global leader in driverless technology, and Lyft, Inc.(Nasdaq: LYFT) today announced the planned launch of a fully driverless public ride-hail service in Las Vegas, the first city in a multimarket deployment. Motional’s next-generation robotaxis, the all-electric Hyundai IONIQ 5-based robotaxi, will be available on the Lyft app in Las Vegas, starting in 2023. The deployment is part of a landmark partnership between Motional and Lyft announced last year.
Sure, but they should then rather call it a Level 3 system and let the user not pay attention.SuperCruise has a very good camera based driver monitoring to make sure the driver is alert and it is restricted to its ODD. Also, I would imagine there would be safeguards for when the driver is allowed to go hands-free and alerts if the driver does need to take over. I would think GM has taken precautions to ensure a robust system. If you watch videos of Super Cruise, it seems really good at making sure the driver is alert and that the system is being used responsibly IMO.

Paying visual attention is not enough if one need to take over in a split second to correct an error of the system. Then one would need hands on the wheel to immediately take control.
Also, hands on the wheel will much earlier warn the driver of a system error than visual could (e.g. lane marker sensing error resulting in drifting outside the lane).
Adding oncoming traffic where the distance between cars is less than a meter, meaning less than a second before the car is in the oncoming lane.
Not being ready to intervene, but needing to be very alert to intervene very fast seems contradictory.
I much prefer the European brands concept of "steer with the car"/"human-machine blended" lvl 2, with touch sensors nagging every 5 seconds, as BMW and VAG have.
In L3, the manufacturers take responsibility for any mishaps during its operation (L3 does not operate above the highway speed of 37MPH):Sure, but they should then rather call it a Level 3 system and let the user not pay attention....
