Super Cruise is a “hands-off, eyes-on” system, meaning it can handle the bulk of steering, accelerating, lane-changing and stopping on a growing list of mapped highways without the driver having to touch the wheel

Super Cruise also uses highly detailed, 3D maps of the roads it operates on. Tesla, meanwhile, is betting its future on automated driving systems that use just cameras and AI—not HD maps and other sensors.

The reliance on HD maps does make me wonder how scaleable Super Cruise is towards a wider rollout or more advanced features. Tesla's sensor suite, for all of its shortcomings, is one of the few which seems easily scaleable beyond a few select cities or routes.

Yeah, it feels like short-term thinking to be on maps. It's a shame.
