GM plans to debut OnStar AI assistant starting in 2027 Cadillac Lyriq
General Motors plans to launch an in-car assistant named OnStar AI, beginning with 2027 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. The feature pairs with a mobile app and will allow drivers to control vehicle functions, such as climate control, using voice commands without scrolling through menus. Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson told WIRED that the tool could eventually coordinate family schedules,…
Key points
- GM will introduce OnStar AI in 2027 Cadillac Lyriqs, enabling voice-controlled vehicle settings without navigating dashboard menus.
- The automaker plans to use AI to halve its four- to five-year vehicle development timeline to match Chinese competitors.
- GM aims to expand eyes-off highway driving capabilities across popular models, building beyond hands-free Super Cruise and Escalade IQ plans.
GM also announced plans to cut its four- to five-year vehicle development cycle in half using AI, matching the pace of Chinese automakers. In addition, GM intends to expand its eyes-off highway driving system beyond the Cadillac Escalade IQ, which was previously slated to receive the feature in 2028. GM's current Super Cruise system permits hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways but still requires visual driver attention.
Anderson criticized competing driver-assistance systems that require constant supervision, such as Tesla's Full Self-Driving, arguing they present an illusion of autonomy without freeing drivers. Instead, GM plans a gradual rollout of eyes-off capabilities across broader road networks, eventually targeting autonomous errands such as grocery runs and finding parking spaces.
