No surprise the talk directly to other cars thing isn't anything more than testing at this time.  Makes sense tho not enough cars out there yet and then the likely lack of a standard and security issues. 

I wonder how often any of the cars that are out there now talk to the 'mother ship' and report things they have learned?
As far as I know, Tesla is the only manufacturer that has two way communication on their driving and routing learning systems.

So does it actually steer the car for you,  like an auto pilot, or just set the cruise control speed as posted wherever you are? I guess I don't understand exactly what this system is/does.

Absolutely it steers for you and, unlike the Tesla system, the CT6 has a fully independent secondary steering system in the event of a failure of your front steering EPS system.  All the CT6 vehicles with Supercruise have Active Rear Steering (ARS). Besides improving nimbleness and turn radius it provides an excellent backup safety system.  In the event of an EPS failure, the ARS system will keep the car centered in the lane for somewhere around 10 seconds while warning you to take control and giving you plenty of time to get your head back in the game.

This feature, in addition to the facial camera system and steering wheel/instrument panel coloring system to provide positive feedback of who is "driving", creates a very safe system.

So besides Full Range Adaptive Cruise Control, it provides true hands off the wheel lane centering while monitoring your attentiveness to driving.

Wow! That's some fancy system for sure. Also something that you don't want when the warranty runs out.
But very cool, regardless. Thanks for the explanation on how it works.
