Edmunds Rates GM's Super Cruise as Top Hands-Free Driving System

Despite competition from Ford, BMW, and Tesla, General Motors' system stands out for its informative interface and reliable operation.

Edmunds tested four hands-free driving systems: Ford’s BlueCruise, General Motors’ Super Cruise, Tesla’s AutoPilot with Full Self-Driving Beta, and BMW’s Driving Assistant Plus.
Ford's BlueCruise performed well in lane-keeping and distance maintenance, but had issues with automatic lane changing and deactivation notifications.
GM's Super Cruise was praised for its informative interface and confidence-inspiring operation, despite occasional issues with its automatic lane change feature.
BMW's Driving Assistant Plus was commended for its smooth braking, acceleration, and superior automatic lane-changing feature, but its calmer approach may not suit all drivers.
Tesla's AutoPilot Full Self-Driving Beta, while not truly hands-free, was the only system tested that operates on city streets, recognizing stop signs and traffic lights, but its high cost and awkward progress were noted as downsides.
