Cadillac Super Cruise, the luxury automaker's hands-off driver assistance system, will by the end of the year work on more than 200,000 miles of highway in the US and Canada, 35 percent more territory than it covered when it launched in 2017. The bulk of the new miles come from divided highways -- the sort of road where Tesla's Autopilot system has suffered two high-profile deadly crashes, and where Cadillac's engineers are confident their system can do better.
Super Cruise drivers -- the system is available only on the CT6 sedan, and is moving to the CT5 sedan next year -- have to trek to their dealer to get the software upgrade to take advantage of the newly added parts of the map. The process is free, and takes about an hour. After that, Cadillac will send out the updated maps via over-the-air software updates starting this summer and into the fall.

Yum -- tasty updates over-the-air. What could go wrong?
