Autonomous driving in traffic jams
and in the fast lane without driver involvement
The vehicle self-drives on suitable roads — separeted lane road —
in all traffic conditions (traffic jams, slow moving traffic, etc.).
Combining data using prototype sensors (laser scanner, multifunction
cameras, radars, GPS) means:
• Speed is adapted to the surrounding environment, taking into account
the presence of other vehicles, road infrastructure and the applicable
speed limit.
• Lane tracking and high-precision GPS route tracking guide the vehicle’s
steering.
• The vehicle can change lanes automatically including for overtaking,
pulling back in, etc.
