Self Driving Autonomous Renault – Video

The car of the future will undoubtedly be autonomous, spelling an end to motorway monotony and endless urban traffic jams. Renault will be taking you there step by step, with a series of safe assisted-driving solutions.

Groupe Renault already offers one the widest range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on the market, enhancing vehicle safety and in some cases (as with AEBS Pedestrian) operating without human intervention.

These ADAS form the starting point for autonomous vehicles, though for the time being they go no further than providing assistance to the driver, who remains fully in charge of the vehicle. That being said, they are already quite sophisticated, automatically handling functions such as braking, accelerating, regulating the distance from the vehicle in front, and centring the car in the lane. This kind of system, shortly to be offered by Nissan, marks real entry into the era of autonomous vehicles, capable of actually instigating decisions on behalf of the driver.

 

 

The next step will be a car that can change lane, but again, drivers still need to keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. They remain fully responsible for all driving phases.
