The map for the Chicago currently covers the express/tollways, and some divided roads like Palatine road up north-west, and 83 in the west 'burbs.
This is so much more than Tesla's "are you doing something with the steering wheel" approach. This should really help assure the driver is alert and engaged. It should be used, IMO, even w/o any driver assist tech. I bet it would save a lot of crashes/injuries/deaths.

General Motors Co said on Wednesday owners of certain vehicles equipped with its Super Cruise assisted driving system will now be able to use it on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads, doubling the current operating area .....
The GM system's sensors and software allow a motorist to cruise with hands off the wheel on highways that have been mapped in detail. But the driver is expected to stay alert and ready to take over the car. GM uses technology to monitor the driver, and Super Cruise will sound alarms or slow the car to a stop if it detects that a driver is not responding.
Starting later this year, GM plans to enable vehicles equipped with Super Cruise and the company's latest vehicle electronic system to operate hands-free on major, undivided highways in the United States and Canada, as well as additional miles of divided, interstate highways. Currently, Super Cruise operates only on interstate, divided highways.

Drivers must pay attention to the road at all times. Our proprietary head-tracking software helps make sure your eyes are on the road, and it alerts you when you need to pay more attention or take back control.
