Finally, GM is continuing to invest in autonomous drive systems. Last year, the automaker announced autonomous highway driving would arrive by 2028, and pre-production vehicles are now being tested. And it won’t just be GM EV customers who benefit from hands-free highway driving; autonomous highway driving capabilities will soon expand to GM’s most popular gas-powered vehicles. This system will also be powered by the Central Compute Unit. [...] All-new battery chemistry and redesigned drive motors make up the core of GM’s future EV plans. New lithium manganese-rich batteries will underpin GM’s highest-volume EV segments, targeting a balance of range, durability, and affordability. Produced in partnership with LG Energy Solution in Spring Hill, Tennessee, these batteries will be 33 percent more energy-dense than lithium iron phosphate; as such, they will offer longer driving range in a smaller, lighter battery pack at comparable prices [...] The Michigan-based manufacturer announced a slew of upcoming technologies at its GM Forward event in New York City on October 21. Artificial intelligence, renewed investment in autonomous driving technology, and new software-defined vehicles were all on the menu, but it was the plans for GM’s fourth-generation electric vehicles that specifically caught our eye. Going forward, General Motors will focus on spreading EV ownership across its whole customer base.
