Cadillac Technology That Earns Its Place 

Technology can be wonderful. It can also be overly confusing. Cadillac has managed to avoid much of the latter. Its latest technology isn’t there to make the dashboard look busy or win an argument on a brochure. It’s designed to make driving easier, longer journeys more relaxing, and everyday ownership more convenient. That’s a far better use of technology than adding another button no one ever presses. 

Super Cruise® Changes Long Highway Drives 

If there’s one feature that defines Cadillac’s current technology, it’s available Super Cruise®. Using LiDAR map data, cameras, radar sensors, and GPS, Super Cruise allows hands-free driving on more than 750,000 miles of compatible roads throughout the United States and Canada. It isn’t self-driving, and it isn’t designed to replace an attentive driver. Instead, it reduces the workload during long highway journeys while continuing to monitor driver attention through an infrared camera. Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand further enhance the experience by assisting with lane changes when conditions allow. Spend several hours on the interstate, and it’s easy to appreciate why this system has attracted so much attention. 

Displays Designed Around the Driver 

Large screens have become common across the industry. Integrating them well is considerably more difficult. The Cadillac LYRIQ features a beautifully integrated 33-inch advanced LED display with 9K resolution that combines vehicle information, navigation, entertainment, and controls in one flowing design. The Escalade IQ goes even further with an available 55-inch pillar-to-pillar display that transforms the dashboard without feeling unnecessarily complicated. Wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, Google built-in compatibility, available wireless phone charging, multiple USB ports, and available 5G Wi-Fi hotspot capability ensure the technology remains genuinely useful instead of simply impressive. 

Helping You Stay Aware 

Cadillac’s driver-assistance technologies are intended to support good driving rather than dominate it. Available features throughout the lineup include Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and Rear Park Assist. 

Many models also offer HD Surround Vision, Rear Camera Mirror, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, Reverse Automatic Braking, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. Together, these systems improve awareness during highway driving, parking, and low-speed maneuvering while allowing the driver to remain firmly in control. 

Technology That Continues After the Drive 

The ownership experience doesn’t end once the engine is switched off. Available OnStar® services provide access to Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, Roadside Assistance, vehicle diagnostics, and stolen vehicle assistance on properly equipped models. 

The myCadillac mobile app allows owners to remotely start or stop the engine, lock or unlock the doors, locate the vehicle, monitor vehicle health, schedule service appointments, and, on electric models, check battery status and charging progress from almost anywhere. They’re the sort of features that become surprisingly useful once you’ve lived with them for a while.
