GM’s new Escalade will let you take your eyes off the road while Google’s Gemini drives for you

The Cadillac Escalade IQ is about to become more than a luxury SUV.

Next year, it’ll start talking, powered by Google’s Gemini AI.

And by 2028, it’ll be able to drive itself while you sit back and scroll.

GM just revealed how it’s turning its biggest SUV into its smartest one and it has some big plans.

The Cadillac Escalade IQ will be able to drive itself

By 2028, the Cadillac Escalade IQ won’t just drive, it’ll chauffeur you.

GM’s working on a feature that lets you kick back while the car handles everything.

When the turquoise lights flash across the dash and mirrors, that’s the car’s way of saying, ‘I got this’.

It’s not magic, it’s sensors.

Lots of them.

The Escalade’s brain uses radar, lidar, and cameras to build a 3D map of what’s around it, kind of like superhero vision.

It’s been trained on millions of miles of driving so it knows what to do when things get weird.

Like potholes, bad weather, or that one guy who always forgets to use his blinker.

GM’s already tested the idea with a feature called Super Cruise, which is like training wheels for self-driving.

On certain highways, the car can steer and brake by itself while you sit back.

As long as you keep watching the road.

It’s logged more than 700 million miles without a single crash blamed on it, which is why GM’s confident enough to go fully eyes-off next. 

So yeah – by the time this SUV hits the road, you could be answering texts or prepping for your next meeting while it quietly does the driving.

Meet Gemini, your car’s new brainy bestie

Before hands-off driving happens, GM’s giving the Escalade a voice.

Starting next year, it’ll use Google’s Gemini AI.

The same tech that helps phones sound smarter, now riding shotgun.

Use it to ask for directions, find snacks, or tell it to warm up the seats before you hop in.

And this is just the beginning.

Soon GM will swap in its own custom AI that learns your habits.

It’ll familiarize itself with what time you leave for work in the morning, what music you like, even your favorite food stops.

It’ll remind you to fill up the tires, play your go-to playlist, and maybe even suggest that taco place you keep forgetting about.

All this runs on GM’s brand-new computer brain.

The fastest one they’ve ever built for a car.

It’s about 35 times more powerful than what’s in today’s models, which basically means the Escalade can think quicker than most humans stuck in traffic.
