Super Cruise is the most advanced Level 2, semi-autonomous driving aid.
By using a driver-facing camera and digitally mapped highway information, it allows
the driver to take his/her hands off the steering wheel. All other systems require the
driver’s hand on the wheel.The camera monitors that you are watching the road ahead and ready to take
over. The system is disabled once the camera senses that the driver is not paying
attention.Electrify America, a Volkswagen subsidiary, plans to revolutionize the EV charging
infrastructure.It plans to install super-quick chargers capable of up to 350 kilowatts of charging
power for a driving range of 300 miles in just 15 minutes. This is delivered through a
thin, light cable that is liquid-cooled to prevent overheating. The company plans to
invest $2 billion to set up hundreds of charge stations all over the United States.
