The system brings together a number of electronic technologies and sensor systems already in place in the company's production cars, such as Adaptive Cruise Control operated by radar.I was a passenger in a car equipped with the system last week in Aachen, and in the simulation on a private road it kept pace with the stop-go of a traffic jam situation, and also coped with changes such as cars cutting in or leaving the lane in front.
It will be some time before the system is offered as a real option, but the technical bits are already in place and being tested in real world city traffic.
