According to the article GM has decided to simply restrict the domain of their semi-autonomous offering to only work on divided highways. The author says that the result is innovative and brilliant. But the problems they're trying to solve are not nearly as ambitious or challenging as those Tesla has decided to tackle.
While it can be argued that GM should received kudos for releasing a feature that can work reliably, I don't see it as innovative.
It kind of reinforces that traditional car makers are never going to offer anything revolutionary to the car market. They're going to use the work of others to incrementally add features to cars that they think will increase sales. They won't take risks with technology.
