How Cadillac Advances Driving Tech

Cadillac stands out as an artisan of luxurious automobiles that envelop their passengers in premium materials and comfortable amenities. The manufacturer’s commitment to indulging driver desires transforms your road experience with multiple breakthrough technologies.

Eyes on the Road, Hand Off the Wheel

Cadillac Super Cruise™ makes your trips safer by delivering smart assists that encourage hands-free driving on compatible highways. It relies on services like precision LiDAR mapping, radar sensors, in-vehicle, cameras, GPS, and OnStar® to monitor your surroundings.

The technology centers the car in your lane, so you maintain a steady path. It then uses Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control to maintain the following gap between you and the next vehicle by automatically adjusting your speed as traffic conditions change.

Enjoying Infotainment

The Cadillac User Experience (CUE) offers convenient access to information, communications, and entertainment through the following:

• Personal Home Page. Customize the home page to save the apps that you prefer, show saved navigation locations, and keep track of your favorite radio stations.

• Voice Command. If you want a break from tapping and swiping on the dashboard screen, speak your commands to play music, make phone calls, or find destinations. This technology relies on dual microphones to clearly discern your commands and can recognize the differences among multiple voices.

• Smartphone Integration. By supporting Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, CUE integrates your compatible smartphone, enabling you to use the infotainment system to activate selected apps, answer calls, listen to dictated text messages, and stream your music files. You can also access your phone contact list and save new contacts to the list located in the vehicle.

• Navigation. You can search for points of interest or addresses using Natural Voice Recognition and re-route your trips on the go if you discover interesting places on the way. Use natural gestures to zoom and wipe on the colorful 3D map, which can integrate available Doppler weather reports.

• Custom Settings. User profiles, which are saved in the cloud, can customize settings to whoever takes the wheel. Up to 60 of your favorite songs, places of interest, Pandora channels, and more can be stored. It learns your behaviors, such as the routes you like to take and your favorite destinations, to suggest turn-by-turn directions adjusted for traffic. It can also personalize the driving alerts that appear on your Head-Up Display.

• Convenient Updates. Your CUE system will always have the latest features. It automatically informs you of any available software updates, which you can then download and install using the available built-in hotspot.

More Tech

Among the additional innovations are the following:

• The MyCadillac App that prompts you to remotely control your vehicle from any place that you can use your smartphone. It lets you lock or unlock doors, start the engine, check vehicle diagnostics, set parking reminders, and send directions to the on-board navigation system.

• You can forget about wires and ports when powering up your compatible smartphone. Just lay it on the Wireless Charging pad, which juices up your device whenever your vehicle is running.

• The available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot allows simultaneous connections for up to seven devices from up to 50 feet away.

• Exciting your musical appreciation is the Bose® Panaray sound system that produces 360-degree audio from 34 speakers strategically positioned to take advantage of cabin acoustics.

Enhancing Performance

The innovations available with your Cadillac extend to more than fascinating interfaces and gadgets. They also include the following advances that are felt rather than seen.

• Magnetic Ride Control: By checking your driving conditions up to 1,000 a second, it can almost instantly adapt the suspension to changes in road and weather conditions, so that you always get the smoothest ride.

• Responsive Braking: To provide superior stopping power, your vehicle can contain fixed-caliper Brembo® brakes and vented rotors with six pistons for the front and four pistons for the rear.

• All-Wheel Drive with Active Torque Technology: This feature intelligently stabilizes handling and optimizes traction to maximize your control under all driving conditions.

• Electronic: Limited Slip Differential: When you corner, power automatically diverts to the rear wheel with the most grip on the road to give you the most control and the fastest exit speeds

• Fusion Frame: By fusing 13 high-strength steel and aluminum castings into a single lightweight form, your vehicle benefits from a rigid frame that enhances quiet without the added weight of sound-insulating materials.
