GM just dropped its 4th-gen EV platform, focusing on central computing and novel battery tech. The platform's central computing unit (CCU) is 40x more powerful than current systems, handling propulsion, chassis, perception, and safety. This shift is a big deal for developers and engineers working on automotive software, as it centralizes vehicle functions, simplifies wiring, and trims weight. The Cadillac Escalade IQ will debut in 2028 with this tech, and GM plans to roll out autonomous highway driving the same year. GM's move is a response to the rapid development cycles of Chinese automakers and aims to deliver true autonomy.
