GM will soon double the number of roads in Canada and the U.S. that work with its Super Cruise hands-free driver-assist system. The newest GM vehicles with the Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) will be the first ones to get the no-cost, over-the-air update later this year. The eligible 2022 models include the Cadillac CT4, CT5, Escalade, and Lyriq; the GMC Hummer EV and Sierra 1500; and the Silverado 1500—although the chip shortage means it may not be available on every vehicle it’s intended for right now.There will soon be a lot more roads in the United States and Canada that work with Super Cruise. That’s because GM announced today that later this year it’ll be doubling the number of roadways that work with its hands-free driver-assist system. The current network includes about 200,000 miles of mapped divided highways. The plan to double its size means that drivers will be able to travel hands-free on over 400,000 miles of roads throughout the two countries.

What’s even more notable is that GM says the expansion won’t continue to be limited to the interstate. The updated Super Cruise will be operational on a combination of divided and undivided state and federal roads. Among the most iconic of the new routes are the Pacific Coast Highway (California Route 1), the Overseas Highway (U.S. Route 1), and the Mother Road (U.S. Route 66).

The company also said that new vehicles with its Vehicle Intelligence Platform (VIP) that are already equipped with Super Cruise will be the first to benefit from the expansion. The list of 2022 models that are eligible for the full update includes the Cadillac CT4, CT5, and Escalade; the Chevy Silverado 1500; the GMC Hummer EV and Sierra 1500. They’ll just have to receive an over-the-air update at no additional cost, which will be available later this year.Meanwhile, models such as the Cadillac CT6 sedan (now defunct) and XT6 SUV as well as the Chevy Bolt EUV, which feature the company’s Global A platform, are also eligible for the upgrade, but a GM spokesperson told Car and Driver that they’ll “receive a smaller portion of the expansion.”Back in May, we learned that the 2023 Chevy Suburban and Tahoe will be getting Super Cruise. The ’23 GMC Yukon and Cadillac Lyriq also have the hands-free system. However, we’re still unsure how the semiconductor shortage could affect Super Cruise’s availability or how it might affect other new models that look to add it.

The 2023 GMC Canyon will debut on August 11, with GMC providing a teaser for the new midsize pickup truck ahead of its reveal.The teaser shows a Canyon AT4X with the Edition 1 package, and the trim level appears to include beefy bodywork and a tough-looking front bumper with a bull bar.The 2023 Canyon should follow the Chevy Colorado by offering a turbocharged 2.7-liter inline-four engine and no option for a two-door, regular-cab configuration.Last week, Chevrolet took the wraps off the new 2023 Colorado, showing a butch new design that will be available exclusively with four doors and a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder. Now, we are getting a peek at its corporate cousin, with GMC showing a teaser for the 2023 Canyon and announcing that the mid-size pickup truck will be revealed in full on August 11.The teaser image shows half of the new Canyon’s front end, and GMC says that this example is the AT4X model with the Edition 1 package. The AT4X trim, first introduced on the GMC Sierra, will be the most off-road-ready variant in the range, and we can see a chunky front bumper with a large bull bar rising up in front of the grille. The headlights appear to be split into two pieces, with the rectangular upper section consisting of LED daytime running lights and the lower trapezoidal section featuring the main headlights.

The grille is blacked out, and it appears that auxiliary fog lights sit in the middle of the front bumper. The 2023 Canyon AT4X also looks to ride on capable all-terrain tires. We expect the Canyon to adopt the same turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain and cab configuration as the Colorado, and the Canyon should also come in a luxurious Denali trim.Check back for more information on the 2023 Canyon when all is revealed on August 11. GMC says reservations will open for the AT4X with Edition 1 package when it is unveiled.

Gas prices are falling at the fastest rate in over a decade, according to a tweet by President Joe Biden.After a gallon of regular gas peaked above $5 in June, today the average price is $4.19, per AAA.There are currently 19 states where the average is under $4 per gallon, and it’s $3.77 or less in eight states. Gas prices have been extremely volatile this year, with the national average peaking above $5 per gallon in June. However, prices have now fallen for the past seven weeks straight, according to data collected by Gas Buddy.

President Joe Biden today tweeted that the current drop in gas prices is the fastest decline the country has seen in over a decade. The highest recorded average price of a gallon of regular was $5.02 in mid-June, per AAA, which today lists the national average at $4.19 per gallon. That’s a difference of 83 cents.

While a gallon of regular still exceeds $5 on average in states such as Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Nevada, there are 19 states where a gallon is offered for under $4. Again, that’s according to AAA’s list of state gas-price averages, which also lists eight states where drivers can fill up for an average of $3.77 or less. The cheapest of those is Texas, where regular is currently $3.69 per gallon on average.

AAA

AAA yesterday issued a report on the falling gas prices, including a chart that compares national gas prices between 2019 and 2022. It also pointed out that these lower prices could lead to increased demand, which could stymie the price drop.“We know that most American drivers have made significant changes in their driving habits to cope with high gas prices,” said AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross. “But with gas below $4 a gallon at nearly half of the gas stations around the country, it’s possible that gas demand could rise.”It’s clear that there’s been a steady decline in recent weeks, but—as we explained in an in-depth article on gas-price trends last month—it’s best to be prepared for the unpredictable.
