If you look at it's "skateboard" battery design, it's essentially what Tesla did in putting the pack under the floor to lower the center of gravity and give more interior & cargo room.

I expect that if she retires soon, her successor will make a statement such as "We're a car company, not a map company!" and close the project. Which will doom Super-cruise. If you get a chance, read On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors which tells the tale of GM from the viewpoint of John Z. DeLorean.
