General Motors Scales Autonomous Driving to Trucks and SUVs, Betting on Software Revenue

General Motors on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping strategy to expand its autonomous driving capabilities beyond luxury models to its highest-volume pickups and SUVs, signaling a fundamental shift from robotaxi ambitions to selling self-driving features in consumer vehicles. The company announced a new central computing unit with 40 times the processing power of today's vehicles and plans to roll out eyes-off, hands-off highway driving by 2028, initially on the Cadillac Escalade IQ before expanding to full-size trucks and SUVs including popular models like the Silverado and Tahoe.
