General Motors said on Thursday it will introduce its Super Cruise hands-free driving technology in South Korea beginning in November, expanding the advanced driver assistance system beyond North America and China.
The system will initially be available on a Cadillac model and operate across more than 14,000 miles of mapped expressways and major arterial roads, including key routes such as the Gyeongbu Expressway linking Seoul and Busan.

Super Cruise combines cameras, sensors, GPS, and LiDAR-based maps, enabling drivers to operate hands-free under proper conditions while ensuring attentiveness through a driver monitoring system.
Features include automatic and turn-signal-activated lane changes, as well as continuous over-the-air updates to enhance performance. GM has set up an update network in South Korea to support real-time software and mapping improvements.
