As far as Super-Cruise it uses an infrared camera to monitor a person's position in the car, including where your eyes are pointing.

I think it is capable of being summoned in that particular situation. Just because it lacks a driver doesn’t define it as level 4/5, but it is a characteristic of level 4/5 cars. It is an if A then B type of statement: all polar bears are white animals, but all white animals are not polar bears. Just because it can operate without someone in the driver’s seat in a limited capacity at limited speeds for limited distances with continual monitoring doesn’t mean it is level 4/5 autonomy or that it has been claimed to be so just because there was no driver.
Interesting article. Supercruise seems well made for a very limited scope of abilities. I wonder why GM doesn’t monitor the driver when Supercruise is not engaged for distractions and engagement. It will be interesting to see if Supercruise will be able to keep up with Tesla’s system in performance or function in the future if they have to lidar map all roads for it to work everywhere. Also interesting that Tesla scored low on driver monitoring, but scored higher on emergency driver monitoring, as if it had the capacity to do more monitoring, but it chooses not to, and this seems like differences in state laws about gun laws or things such as open carry. Seems other manufacturers are doing what Tesla is doing. Maybe the media just enjoys reporting on Tesla. Good click bait.

In response to a request for comment about our evaluations, Mazda stressed that its “Lane Keep Assist system does not perform lane centering.” Volvo underscored in its response that its “focus is to have the driver in the loop and engaged.” Jaguar Land Rover told CR its systems meet “both regulatory safety requirements as well as our own stringent standards for function and usability.” General Motors, which makes both the Super Cruise and Buick systems, says that the Encore GX offers “an impressive amount of standard active safety features.”
