GREAT detailed and informative review.
I wish my wife new 2025 equinox had it. I doubt it's offered on it though. The vehicle is loaded however.
I get what you are saying about the adaptive cruise when behind a slow car, as soon as you change lanes the car hits the gas peddle pretty hard to get back to speed. (sometimes I almost cringe) It will also hit the brakes abruptly if traffic slows in front of you.
The car has steering and brake assist as well. It wont let you back up over a person. *LOL* We tested it.
It's GM's steering assist that makes me now want the Super Cruise that you have. I think it's a perfect solution. With her car for fun I do let go of the steering wheel and the car will self correct so it doesn't run off the road. However it waits until it just about runs off the road before it corrects and not made for self driving to keep you in the middle of the lane. You would look like a drunk driver. Anyway, now I certainly see how much fun Super Cruise can be.
My nephew has a Navigator with Fords Blue Cruise. Says he drove from NY to SC and for about 8 of 10 hours didn't need to steer the vehicle. I honestly think these systems are the way to go. Even my wife's rudimentary system prevents the car form going off the road but a true cruise like you have is a slam dunk in my book. There is no doubt that one day this type of system will be on almost any vehicle much like electric windows are today... maybe
