DETROIT — General Motors isn't promising that Ultra Cruise, its hands-free driving system for city streets, can handle every situation right away.
Ultra Cruise, which debuts in 2024 on the Cadillac Celestiq, will tell the driver to take over through roundabouts and other intersections requiring complicated maneuvers, said Jason Ditman, the system's chief engineer. It also will relinquish control at the threshold of destinations such as a grocery store parking lot or the owner's driveway, Ditman said.
"Over time, we'll grow this to where we're covering nearly every paved road," he told reporters.
