The 2023 Cadillac CT4-V is a compact sport sedan that can be equipped with the Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system, which works on 400,000 miles of roads. The Cadillac CT4-V was very much designed to be a driver's car, but it can drive itself … some of the time. The compact sports sedan is available with the latest version of Cadillac's Super Cruise highway driving system, which provides hands-free lane-centering adaptive cruise control. Super Cruise uses high definition cameras, ultrasonic sensors and radar to keep an eye on its surroundings, while hyper-accurate GPS maps help position it on the road. It now works on over 400,000 miles of certified roads across North America and can also check for traffic and change lanes at the flick of the turn signal or automatically if there is a slower car in front of it.

And here, surrounded by an armada of tiny sensors and whiz-bang gizmos, I wonder: Has the Ultimate Driving Machine yielded to the Ultimate Autonomy, Luxury, and Technology Machine? In a former life, the 5 Series was the sports sedan, the car Audi and Mercedes-Benz engineers saw in their sleep.
