GM’s Futuristic “Look Ma, No Hands!” Bullshit Coming in 2028

Oh joy, the geniuses at General Motors have decided that we humans are way too good at driving, so they’re cooking up a shiny new “eyes-off, hands-off” driving system by 2028. Because nothing says “I trust my life to corporate software updates” like taking a f*cking nap while your car plays Russian roulette with GPS lag and rain sensors.

Apparently, this thing is supposed to let you literally not touch the wheel or even look at the damn road — as if the usual chaos on I-95 wasn’t enough, now we’re adding fully autonomous land missiles to the mix. They’re calling it the next step after Super Cruise and Ultra Cruise, which is corporate speak for, “We’ve ironed out *some* of the bugs, but hey, try not to die before the next firmware patch.”

This pile of marketing hype is meant to make you believe GM is leading the future of driving. Spoiler alert: the only thing they’re leading is the race to blame the “user” when the car mistakes a bus for a parking space.

But sure, it’s all “safety, convenience, innovation.” Until you’re explaining to your insurance company that your car decided to take a creative shortcut through someone’s living room. I can already hear the tech support call: *“Have you tried rebooting the car, sir?”*

Reminds me of the time someone in IT thought deploying “AI-powered network monitoring” meant we could all stop checking logs. Two weeks later the AI helpfully ignored *everything*, including the fire alarms. Some lessons you apparently have to learn by smoke inhalation.
