Automobile giant General Motors recently announced its new hands-free driving system at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to chief executive Mary Barra, the company aims to launch its “personal autonomous vehicle” by mid-decade.

 According to Barra, the self-driven vehicle will be a collaboration between General Motors and Cruise, a self-driven range of cars.

Furthermore, General Motors , or GM, is set to expand its array of electric vehicles, with the Chevrolet Silverado electric pickup ready to launch by 2023. The Detroit, Michigan-based automobile company also has a BrightDrop commercial vehicle range, two Chevrolet crossovers, a $30,000 Equinox EV, and a Blazer EV, all set for a 2023 release.

 Along with the self-driven vehicle, GM also plans to debut a hands-free driving system on the Cadillac Celestiq sedan. According to Barra, Ultra Cruise will put its Qualcomm technology to use for seamless driving assistance.

 Just last year, Cadillac, an automobile company owned by General Motors, had sparked a range of reactions to its futuristic automobile concepts at the Consumer Electronics Show, including the idea of a flying car.

This year, Mary Barra unveiled yet another Cadillac concept, known as the InnerSpace, which is said to be a two-passenger, self-driven luxury coupe.

 In addition to InnerSpace, a brief video also gave a peek into the fourth Cadillac concept known as OpenSpace, with the statement “vision for the next decade and beyond”. According to an insider at General Motors, the OpenSpace is said to be a luxurious hotel room on wheels.

 For the first time in nine decades, General Motors lost its title of America’s highest selling car brand to Toyota, which sold more than 2.3 million vehicles last year. Detroit-based General Motors, otherwise known as GM, had reigned as the top-selling car brand in the US since 1931.
