ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The expansion of General Motors' eyes-off driving system to pickups and more SUVs will likely increase demand for these vehicles in the Australian market, particularly among customers who value convenience and technology

What it means for the order bank

Australian dealers who stock General Motors' utes and SUVs should expect an increase in sales inquiries and orders as the eyes-off driving system becomes available, and should prepare their sales teams to effectively communicate the benefits of this technology to customers

The ability of General Motors' cars to run errands with nobody inside will also create new opportunities for dealers to promote the convenience and practicality of these vehicles, particularly in urban areas where traffic and parking can be a challenge

Competitor response

Other manufacturers, such as those offering luxury SUVs, will need to respond to General Motors' eyes-off driving system in order to remain competitive in the Australian market, which could lead to a wave of new technology and feature announcements from rival brands

Australian dealers should be prepared to compare and contrast the features and benefits of General Motors' eyes-off driving system with those of competitor brands, and to communicate the unique value proposition of General Motors' technology to customers

Taking action

This week, Australian dealers can start preparing for the launch of General Motors' eyes-off driving system by reviewing their sales and marketing strategies, and by providing training to their sales teams on the benefits and features of this technology
