Some audi assistance systems that will make your drive easier

-Audi turn assist
Within the system parameters, turn assist monitors oncoming vehicles on the opposite side of the road when the driver is about to turn left.
If the system recognises a critical situation during the turn manoeuvre, it automatically applies the brakes.
The system is enabled as soon as the driver switches on the indicator and the vehicle is travelling at a speed of between approximately two and ten kilometres per hour.

-Audi traffic jam assist
Between speeds of zero and about 60 kilometres per hour, traffic jam assist gives the driver semi-automatic distance control—for instance, in slow-moving traffic.
Within specific system parameters, the system recognises lane markings as well as vehicles in the same lane, lending assistance in steering, accelerating and braking.
At speeds of more than about 60 kilometres per hour, Audi active lane assist helps the driver stay in lane.

-Predictive efficiency assist
In conjunction with the MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, adaptive cruise control harnesses data from predictive efficiency assist to adjust speed in an anticipatory manner.
Within the system parameters, it uses information on curve radii, transitions into urban areas and speed limits stored in the navigation system to do so.
Data from camera-based road sign recognition technology is also assimilated.
In addition, although predictive efficiency assist selectively controls engine thrust and coasting phases, which can save more fuel while driving, the control of the vehicle remains firmly in the driver’s hands.
-On the cordoned-off testing grounds, Audi has already advanced piloted driving much further. As the four rings’ trial cars are put through their paces, the systems are learning more and more with each circuit of the track and their algorithms are continually fine-tuned and improved.
There’s still a way to go before they pass muster and can function automatically without a hitch in complex traffic scenarios.
After all, tomorrow’s piloted cars from Audi will, ultimately, also need to be customisable to their drivers’ personal driving preferences.
“The more automated our cars become, the more important it is for them to drive exactly as their owner would,” says Müller.
