Here’s How Cadillac Super Cruise & Tesla Autopilot Differ
Cadillac finds itself in an interesting quandary now that its upcoming EV pits Super Cruise against Tesla's Autopilot. As auto manufacturers careen toward an all-electric future, traditional companies like GM continue to invest in proprietary driver assistance and self-driving systems. As is the case with the battery-powered cars themselves, Tesla has the experience advantage here, having launched Autopilot earlier than Cadillac's offering.
However, the race will continue for a while and there's no immediately foreseeable end. All signs indicate that most countries are still years away from fully autonomous vehicles being street legal, and that's partially because there are very few standards in play. Naming conventions can be wildly misrepresentative of what the software will do for a driver, the necessary infrastructure isn't in place yet, and it seems like there's plenty to be done on the R&D side to make the idea safe.

Thus, drivers are currently choosing between a variety of driving AI systems that offer different degrees of circumstantial hands-free driving. Tesla has had its Autopilot feature for close to eight years now, and Cadillac's Super Cruise system has been around for roughly four years. Each one takes steps toward a fully-automated driving experience, but they're paving different paths to get there. In major areas like implementation, use cases, and even the hardware powering them, these two AIs provide different realities.
In terms of the word «smart», as it is used today, Tesla Autopilot works more intelligently with other networked devices than Cadillac Super Cruise. The core difference is Autopilot relies on AI-powered cameras and
