It is equipped with a new SIGINT mission system developed by Cassidian, providing standoff capability to detect electronic and communications emitters.
The utility industry said it is now better able to detect and isolate outages, and some elements of Smart Grid technology will enhance that capability.
The key to delivering semi-autonomous capability will be the integration of lane- centering technology that relies on forward-looking cameras to detect lane markings and GPS map data to detect curves and other road characteristics, said John Capp, General Motors director of Global Active Safety Electronics and Innovation.
