Cadillac Will Offer "Intelligent & Connected" Vehicle Technologies on 2017 Models

PEKIN, Illi.- Select Caddies will be doubling as a personal chauffeur come 2017 thanks to GM's up and coming "Intelligent & Connected" technologies. We can expect to see the advanced driver assist technology known as "Super Cruise"and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology around the same time we will see the 2017 Cadillac CTS.

GM is focused on using innovation to make driving safer by offering "Intelligent & Connected" vehicle technologies on select 2017 Cadillac models. One of the technologies known as 'Super Cruise" aims to provide customers with a completely new type of driving experience whether they are on the freeway or stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. This will include hands-off lane following as well as braking and speed control in certain highway driving conditions.

With V2V, General Motors is looking to reduce the amount of traffic collisions and improve traffic congestion by sending and receiving basic safety information between vehicles that are approaching each other.
