Autonomous Vehicles are slowly being introduced around the country but so far there isn’t a fully autonomous vehicle that you can buy. The introduction to vehicles that are autonomous will be in stages from “0” meaning a vehicle without any driver assist systems to “5” indicating a fully autonomous vehicle. At this time, there are only a couple of high end vehicles at level 3 or 4.
You don’t have to wait to take advantage of these amazing electronic features that can keep you safe. Here are the features that are on many vehicles right now:
- Parking sensors
- Surround view
- Lane departure warning light or audible
- Blind spot warning
- Forward collision warning
- Pedestrian warning
- Night vision
- Rear or pedestrian and traffic alert
Many other new cars, while not autonomous have autonomous features. Some of these features are a Level 1 feature that allow the car to take over only specific functions from the driver. They include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Emergency Brake Assist
- Automatic Brake Assist
- Lane keeping and lane centering
