What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?
I could be on to something.
Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor
is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car
and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has
a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment
that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac.

Someone's Been Inhaling To Lil' Too Much Exhaust Fumes
Mary Barra thinks GM is a leader in autonomous tech
Saying General Motors is "among the leaders" in autonomous vehicle technology, CEO Mary Barra rapped about her company's driverless work in an interview with USA Today. Barra covered a number of topics, including well-known efforts, like Cadillac's upcoming Super Cruise technology, as well as hinting at "a lot of efforts that are confidential."
"Things are moving quickly in autonomous [cars] because there's so many different pathways and the standards aren't even set. A lot of people can claim leads because people are making advancements in different areas," Barra said. "Next year we're going to have Super Cruise on one of our Cadillacs. On highways you'll be able to take your hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals – with a very creative way to make sure the driver is alert and involved in the driving process."
As for those "confidential" efforts, feel free to speculate. GM has recently confirmed that it'd be running autonomous Volts at its Warren, MI tech center, which certainly indicates that the company is playing with much more than Super Cruise. GM will need to continue to embrace autonomous driving, owing to both traditional competitors like Toyota, as well as non-traditional opposition, like Google and Apple.
