Monetizing Advanced Driving Features

General Motors is envisioning “what your vehicle could become if we think about it as the most useful, technologically advanced robot most people will ever own,” Sterling Anderson, GM’s executive vice president, global product, and chief product officer, said on the Shift podcast.

Anderson spoke with Automotive News reporter Lindsay VanHulle in New York on Oct. 22. He detailed parts of GM’s next chapter: a centralized vehicle computing architecture that makes vehicles smarter over time, “eyes-off” highway driving, and a lithium manganese rich battery chemistry that aims for longer range at lower cost.
