Before I talk about future technologies, I want to point out that production vehicles are already filled with electronic sensors, communication networks, controllers, and actuators that impact all aspects of the driving experience.

Presentation Notes
GM’s active safety technologies are an excellent example of the new electronics-based technologies that may be relevant to the implementation of Mileage-Based User Fees Many of our vehicles already offer a number of these technologies. As an example, let’s look at a couple of options that are available on the 2013 Cadillac SRX, XTS, and ATS. They are called the Driver Awareness Package and the Driver Assistance Package. Note that vehicles with these features include an array of radar, video and ultrasonic sensors whose information is fused together to provide the vehicle with an awareness of the traffic and other obstacles around it. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these features Auto Collision Preparation (with Collision Imminent Braking), can increase the response of the brakes to the driver’s input if it detects that a crash is imminent. Low-speed Emergency Braking addresses the most common crash type, the low-speed “fender bender.” It applies the brakes when an object ahead is sensed and the driver is not reacting to it.
CARS THAT DON’T CRASH
VEHICLES THAT DRIVE THEMSELVES
Presenter
Presentation Notes
These are all important technologies on the way to our vision to vehicles that don’t crash … … and then ultimately to vehicles that can drive themselves … GM is currently developing connected vehicle and self-driving technologies that will enable semi- and fully autonomous driving. And we anticipate that they will be available by the end of the decade.
For example. GM has demonstrated a V2X transponder integrated with our active safety and driver assistance systems. The transponder communicates directly with other V2V systems and notifies drivers about potentially hazardous roadway conditions. We also believe it’s important to extend these new safety technologies to people outside the vehicle, since pedestrians and cyclists are involved in almost half of all traffic accidents.

We’ve also shown a smartphone-integrated driver notification system. The smartphone is docked into a cradle and used as a processor. The phone will generate audible warnings over the vehicle sound system.

Presentation Notes
In the area of automated driving, GM is developing something we call SuperCruise, a step in the continuum of automated driving features. The key to delivering automated driving capability will be the integration of lane centering technology that relies on forward-looking cameras to detect lane markings and GPS map data to detect curves and other road characteristics.
ELECTRIC, CONNECTED, AUTONOMOUS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
To summarize, GM believes that electrified, connected, autonomous-driving vehicles can revolutionize personal mobility. If we can get to cars that don’t crash, we can create radically different, lower-mass, higher-efficiency vehicles … which, in turn, could dramatically decrease fuel consumption and emissions. We think a future with connected automated vehicles could transform personal mobility.
