Audi adaptive light is a feature that makes driving more relaxing by dynamically illuminating bends in the road and intersections. Audi lane assist, on the other hand, facilitates staying in lane at speeds of 65 km/h and higher. A minicam on the windshield observes the road and a computer detects the lane markings. Should the driver edge toward one of the lane markings without using turn signals, Audi lane assist provides a warning by vibrating the steering wheel.
Audis adaptive cruise control (ACC) is another highly advanced driver assistance system. It controls the cars speed between 30 and 200 km/h. Using radar sensors, the system maintains a preset, driver-selectable distance behind the vehicle in front gently accelerating and braking as needed. In dangerous situations, the integrated braking guard function comes into play: A warning light and an audible signal instruct the driver to brake; should the driver fail to take action, the system triggers a brief mini-application of the brakes. If the driver then responds, the brake assist system instantly makes the full braking force available.
