Chip Shortage Makes GM Scrap Its Hands-Free Highway Driving Feature
"Like a half-filled bag of salty snacks, there simply aren't enough semiconductor chips to go around these days," writes CNET. "At General Motors, the crisis struck one of its biggest cash cows as Cadillac confirmed too few chips led it to scrap the Super Cruise [hands-free highway driving] feature from its flagship Escalade SUV." Slashdot reader McGruber writes: A Cadillac spokesperson said "Super Cruise is an important feature for the Cadillac Escalade program. Although it's temporarily unavailable at the start of regular production due to the industry-wide shortage of semiconductors, we're confident in our team's ability to find creative solutions to mitigate the supply chain situation and resume offering the feature for our customers as soon as possible." CNET adds that in addition, "Essentially, Super Cruise is unavailable across GM's entire lineup of cars."
