GM's Super Cruise vs. Tesla's Full Self Driving *2024*

[@jdav2507]

The Chevy only works on the freeway, so what are we comparing here? As a life long chevy fan, this is very disappointing. Tesla wins, it's not even close...

[@MetzTech]

Correct. As of right now…hopefully they eventually bring it to city streets but we’ll see

[@RealElectech]

@@MetzTech The main problem is, that functionality that they're working on will require expensive LiDAR that most of their new vehicles will have only as an expensive option + subscription, and none of their current vehicles are capable of adding. So even if the software was ready today, they'd still be way behind.

[@MatthewThomas-dq7hp]

Well, I d rather have a law preventing unassisted driving in the streets. Freeway is easier and safer. Who knows what people will do if they can take a nap whenever they want.

[@ProTechShawn]

It actually does activate on "some" non highway roads. On my way to work, in Jax, FL, I encounter various stints where it's available on normal streets. I choose to not have it activated though because on those roads I encounter various red lights so it's easier for me to take control. I've used various forms of semi self driving in Hyundai, Genesis, Kia, Honda, Lincoln, Nissan, Acura, and Mazda and this is BY FAR the smoothest experience; especially when a car cuts in front of you or moves out of your way and there's another car in front of them. The transition from one car to the next is unmatched in my opinion; and I drive a heavy Sierra 1500.

So tired of people whining about Tesla having the nag and marking it down against tesla's self driving ability. the nags have 0 to do with the car's ability but are a business decision to appease regulators who made a huge case about tesla just letting ppl sit while the car drove. Even mainstream media put pressure on Tesla calling it unsafe because of not having nags. Ford and GM will switch to FSD anyway, so this debate is moot.

@@DerekDavis213 I think it depends on where you use the system. Are you regularly taking a mapped highway to work and back each day? If so, sure, maybe GM's solution is fine for you. Are you regularly on residential streets, unmapped highways, or care more about it driving the 'last mile' as such? Then Tesla's solution will do a lot more for you. I'm limited to the older Autopilot system as I'm in the UK, but even then, I've used this for thousands of highway miles in multiple different countries, I also regularly use it on standard roads on the way to the store and back aside from a few hours I take over such as for turns or roundabouts. Unfortunately GM's solution can't do this right now. Tesla's older system is very limited in turns, as shown in this video, but at least it can be engaged at all for use on roads you know well and understand how it'll perform.

Super Cruise will not do auto lane changes because you need to set it to do auto lane changes in the settings.

[@officerdailey]

Supercruise is like an autopilot, where as FSD is like a co-pilot. Very different systems. What Supercruise does, it does very well. FSD is considerably more versatile, but it doesn't have the same level of polish. Supercruise isn't limited to highways, just mapped roads, which are mostly highways at this point, but there are a few main roads by me that are also mapped. The big comparison comes down to the vehicles as a whole though. The wife and I are big fans of Musk, SpaceX, and even the tech of Tesla, but we find Tesla vehicles to be exclusively designed for a particular consumer, which isn't us. We've no interest in making a statement. We just want a normal car, with intuitive and proven controls and layout, that is powered by electricity.

_We just want a normal car, with intuitive and proven controls and layout_ Tesla has an excellent electric power train, and FSD has improved a lot with version 12.

Is Telsa's FSD really better....I guess it depends on your definition. According to a recent analysis by The Washington Post of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that discovered 736 crashes since 2019 in the United States involving Teslas driven on Autopilot. Tesla vehicles driven in Autopilot or “full self-driving mode” have been involved in far more accidents - including those resulting in at least 17 deaths and many serious injuries - than previously reported.

[@BigBen621]

_(NHTSA) that discovered 736 crashes since 2019 in the United States involving Teslas driven on Autopilot._ But the subject is FSD, not Autopilot. Autopilot is no different from TACC and Lane Centering, which virtually all new cars have included for several years. The problem is that unlike FSD, Autopilot and its counterparts from other vendors require action by the driver when the car comes to the end of the highway or other road, and many of the accidents and fatalities are due to the drivers' failure to do so. NHTSA has recently released statistics showing that FSD-not Autopilot-has experienced only 75 crashes while driving 1.3 *billion* miles over several years. Please be more careful about conflating Autopilot with FSD.

[@michaelshort8127]

Even though FSD has eliminated the "nag" feature, you can't drive with sunglasses. That's got to make drives in sunny weather uncomfortable. The insistence on cameras for every function, say not using infrared for face monitoring, leads to a less than optimal solution.

[@MetzTech]

Sure it definitely can. I’m not a sunglasses person, never have been, but I can see how annoying it could be for some

[@michaelshort8127]

Tesla even says that you can’t wear sunglasses. There is no way you see eye behind sunglasses with visible light. That is why Super Cruise uses six infrared LED emitters mounted in equal number on either side of the light bar at the top of the steering wheel.

[@John101B]

Furthermore, the version of FSD Tesla is about to release now is hands free with restriction (Sunglass, etc). Apparently, monitoring works well. What most non-Tesla fans don't get, is that Tesla is a evolving car. What they see now is probably what they are not going to see a year from now. And this applies to all EXISTING cars, not just the new ones. My Tesla is now 2.5 years old, and I'm still excited to get new software updates that make difference to my usecases.

Supercruise does start and stop. Actually it is the adaptive cruise control.

[@sansinutube]

It is called Adaptive Cruise, and it is on all GM vehicles as standard feature, and it works great. SuperCruise, if available, requires Adaptive Cruise to be active.

[@asteinmetz]

This is just a weird take. The review makes accurate statements but the editorializing makes them seem very comparable except for the "little things." Meaning every road except highways. As to Tesla's camera-only approach (no ultrasonic), it remains to be seen whether it's a "con." Tesla owners lamented the removal of the ultrasonic sensors in newer models but Tesla believes they are superfluous. So far, Tesla is right. Where they might matter are in tight parking situations, but certainly not on the highway.

[@MetzTech]

What did you gather is my “take” ?

[@DustinDawind]

Super Cruise $2,500 up front, plus recurring subscription of $25 per month after that. Tesla FSD $8,000 or $99 per month subscription. Meanwhile Open pilot is about $1,500 all in for the parts and can be installed on hundreds of different vehicles. It works on any road and does not rely on lane lines being visible to work. Does not nag you to take the steering wheel ever few seconds. FSD is still better at the non highway driving than Open Pilot. But still open pilot is a much better overall value for what you actually get for your money imo.

[@MatthewThomas-dq7hp]

Does the Tesla automatically speed up when merging on the freeway? Or adjust if the speed limit changes? Does it read school zones or park zones? Or pedestrian crossings?

_Does the Tesla automatically speed up when merging on the freeway?_ Yes. _Or adjust if the speed limit changes?_ Yes, although not perfectly. _Does it read school zones_ Yes, if a speed limit is posted.

Tesla FSD is in a category of its own.

[@Jetter638]

With recent 50% price cuts (April '24), Tesla FSD now cost $8,000 for outright purchase or alternatively $99/mo or $1,200 yr vs Chev Cruise $2,700. So Tesla's FSD solution is nearly 3X the price. Got it. Maybe Tesla will slash the price again as they do appear to be getting desperate lately....with all of their price slashing on cars and now FSD.

One thing you should point out is Tesla has had basic autopilot since the model s in 2013. You can’t say Tesla can do this or that better without pointing out it wasn’t always as advanced as it is now. Super cruise will ad features but the main thing is it works on the interstate and that is where most people want it. Fsd you have to pay 12000 or a 200 dollars a month.

Totally agree on questioning how people get AP strikes! I'm in Europe so I don't have FSD Beta, but we still have the vision based monitoring and the same 'Pay attention to the road' warning, but I've never once in 5 years of ownership had a forced disengagement. The car gives you endless warnings, both visual and audible, and yet somehow people complain that it only gave them all that 3 or 5 times on different days and believe they were wrongfully suspended from using the system for a while? I have no idea what people are doing but it sounds like they're delusional.

[@EM.1.]

What's the difference between auto pilot and FSD? Does Tesla charge for both?

[@Tech4geeks21st]

Autopilot comes free but only works correctly on highways whereas fsd or supervised mean its full self driving and you just have to punch in the address and tesla will do the driving. Apparently this dude only had the basic autopilot thats why it struggles at making sharp turns. Fsd is 8000 dollars

[@STEVEMUNCY]

Autopilot combines adaptive cruise control and auto steer and is included (no extra charge) when you buy the car. It has improved with time and frankly is all most people will need. At one time another for pay option was Enhanced Autopilot that added lane changes, stop lights and stops signs, highway departure, but this option has now been dropped. If you subscribe to FSD $100/month the enhanced features can be used without going to full FSD, or you can opt to use FSD. The subscription model is far superior to shelling out $8000 for FSD since the purchase is linked to the car and not the driver. Buy a new car and you lose your $8000 FSD. A subscription can be cancelled at any time.

[@reximperatur1146]

What no one is mentioning is that FSD recognizes and obey traffic lights and traffic signs. It stops for red lights, drives when it turn green, stops for stop signs appropriately, performs right, left, and protected left turns. You basically put in and address and it goes there. I don't believe it parks the car nor takes it out of the parking spot yet.

[@MetzTech]

Autopilot won’t make that sharp of a turn no matter what. I have all available driving systems, obviously as I was using FSD. Even when enhanced autopilot was a thing (which it no longer is)… it didn’t change how tight of a turn you could take it just added navigate on autopilot and would do auto lane changes.

[@MetzTech]

Autopilot will give you a combo of Adaptive cruise and lane keeping/auto steering. Basically will keep you away from the cars in front of you and keep you in your lane on highways or city streets. As mentioned by others it’s all that most people need. Comes free and standard with all teslas. FSD will take you point A to point B. You put in an address and it just goes. Will do all the driving for you with just occasional nags(for now)

[@aaronterrazas1623]

Other than that time 12.3.6 has been ok driving me 52 miles to work. On my way home however the maps always wants to take me a direction that is totally wrong and causes FSD to drive around a city block on a loop... and I mean a loop, it will drive around that one city block forever. I have not figured out how to report the issue. It is no good!!! Google maps, Waze... no issue, Tesla maps thinks it can exit the city via a road that is one direction and FSD will try and take that path and get stuck driving around that single block forever. I wanna sit at the restaurant at that block and film how many Tesla's get stuck in the loop. LOL

[@dathyr1]

Well I waited for the GM Equinox EV to come out, but got tired of waiting. So I own the Tesla Model Y LR and enjoy all the features - and has some features that the Equinox does not provide. I did try the FREE 30 day trial of FSD version12.3..6 and was interesting, got me to my destinations, but did do a few things I did not like. FSD accelerates too quickly from intersections to get to speed limits which I didn't care for. Also the FSD would do allot of hesitations with shadows which was unnecessary. I decided not to purchase FSD at 99 dollars a month at this time because of just the short local trips I do. I feel I do not need this premium feature. Auto Pilot or Cruise control are adequate for me and they are both FREE with the vehicle and I hardly need or use these. Still with all that said above about FSD, it is still amazing what the feature can drive on any road or highway, in any town or city. Just select the destination, enable FSD, and it will take me directly to that destination. Of the two vehicles, I will still take my Tesla Model Y over the Equinox. I like the simpler interior design. So you don't have all the knobs and buttons, I do not miss them at all. If I don't remember where something is on the Display, I just use Voice Control and does the function I request. Thanks for the video.

[@catbert7]

I disagree. I don't think it's a good idea to let the user turn the wheel without disengaging. It makes it less clear when the car is in control. I also don't like that Tesla switched to camera-only. This is less safe. Drivers should always have their hands on the wheel, until it's truly robotaxi-level. Reaction-time is huge in avoiding accidents. Also, it's super easy to defeat the vision system. You can just hold your phone past the wheel and the camera can't see it...

The indicator light helps with understanding when the car is in control though
