GM unveils roadmap for expanded autonomous driving and next-gen computing
General Motors has announced a strategic roadmap to expand autonomous driving capabilities across its high-volume vehicle lineup, including pickup trucks and large SUVs. The company plans to debut its Level 3 “eyes-off” highway driving technology in the 2028 Cadillac Escalade IQ before rolling it out to other models, such as the Chevrolet Silverado.
To support these advanced features, GM is introducing a next-generation centralized vehicle architecture. This system features a proprietary liquid-cooled Central Compute Unit (CCU) that provides approximately 40 times the computing power of current systems. This architecture is designed to be hardware-agnostic, allowing it to be applied to both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs).
The new platform utilizes high-speed Ethernet and zonal aggregators to process 36 times more data than existing networks. This shift toward a Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) model will allow GM to improve vehicle performance and safety features through over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring that improvements validated in one model can be deployed across the entire fleet.
