The test vehicles that will be hitting the road will offer self-driving concepts that might make for safer and more convenient driving in the future. Read on and learn a bit more about what autonomous driving will mean for us more What Does Autonomous Driving Technology Do? It seems that GM will be targeting the ride-sharing networks in larger cities for testing the new self-driving technology. The vehicles will be using radio signals to "talk" with each other and the sensors on the roadways. With the radio and radar technologies working together, we can expect the self-driving cars to make highway travel more convenient, and even take the stress out of parking facilities. Vehicles that are looking to be some of the first with the autonomous driving technology are the Chevy Bolt and Chrysler Pacifica minivan, and competing companies like Ford are promising to have cars without pedals or steering wheels by 2021. What does this mean for us in the next few years? It means that the world of automotive technology, especially for the latest vehicles from Buick, GMC and Cadillac, will continue to race ahead.

Just looking at the exterior, it’s easy to see that designers are working to make this into a more fluid and aerodynamic vehicle. The appearance of a slightly longer length and a more carved looking body design makes for a modern appeal, without losing the luxurious and exciting details of the Buick waterfall grille. Classic design meets modern charm in this new generation of Buick Verano. Without a doubt, the more angled headlights and natural lines flowing towards the back only add to what the Verano did so well in the previous generation. The rear lights stand out and direct the eye towards the Buick logo in the rear center. Under the hood, the new Verano is said to have a 1.5-liter turbocharged Ecotec engine that puts out an impressive 166 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
