GM is launching a new in-vehicle software system. It debuts later this year on the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. The interface aims to reduce cognitive load for drivers. It proactively surfaces relevant controls. The system includes a major visual upgrade for Super Cruise. It now shows surrounding objects on the driver cluster screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now run in a window-in-window mode. This allows both GM and third-party systems to coexist. GM restructured its digital experience team under design. Sebastian Bauer leads the effort. The system will expand to more GM vehicles over time.

What changed

Drivers had to navigate multiple screens to access controls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto took over the entire screen.

What it unlocks

Accessing controls without navigating multiple screens. Using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto alongside GM’s own software on the same screen.
