2017 Porsche Panamera Advanced Cockpit Interior & Lane Keeping Assist – Video

The current Porsche interior has been reinterpreted for the future in the new Panamera. Black panel surfaces and interactive displays incorporate a clear and intuitive user interface similar to that of smartphones and tablets and provide practical and intuitive solutions to control the car. Classic buttons and conventional instruments have been reduced significantly. They have been replaced by touch-sensitive panels and individually configurable displays which take center stage in the new Porsche Advanced Cockpit – with great benefits for the driver as well as the front and rear passengers. Despite a significantly extended range of communication, convenience and assistance systems, different functions can now be used and operated even more clearly and intuitively. The Porsche Advanced Cockpit transforms the analog world into the digital future of mobility, while staying true to the heritage of Porsche. The analog tachometer, with its central position in the instrument cluster, is a tribute to every Porsche sports car of the past.

Lane Keeping Assist is a camera-based system for automatic detection of divider line markings on the road. The system eases the burden on the driver by providing steering assistance, helping to keep the vehicle in lane.

 

 

Integrated traffic sign recognition uses a camera and navigation data to detect speed limits and ‘no overtaking’ zones and to infer local traffic codes (e.g. from boundary signs). Information is displayed in the instrument cluster. The advantage over information stored in the navigation database is that even temporary speed restrictions can be detected.

New for Porsche is the cornering notification, an enhancement to the traffic sign recognition function. Based on navigation system data and camera recognition of cornering road signs, the system displays an arrowed direction warning on the instrument cluster display alerting you to tight corners. Long before you reach them.
