General Motors CEO Mary Barra says the company is still on track to introduce “eyes-off, hands-off” driving technology by 2028. Barra says she recently tested the system and found it has improved compared with a previous ride in March, describing progress as significant.
Outlets report that Barra’s comments focus on development toward higher levels of driver-assistance or automation, emphasizing that the technology is intended to reduce the driver’s required attention and involvement. The coverage largely aligns on the timing—2028—and on Barra’s characterization that the system has advanced since earlier testing.
While the reports differ little on specifics, they converge on the idea that GM is continuing engineering and validation work toward the stated goal. The statements are positioned as reaffirming the 2028 target rather than changing it, with Barra pointing to improvements observed during her recent evaluation.
