Audi Adaptive Cruise / Lane assist vs Tesla Autopilot

[HPsauce]

It's interesting to compare all that with my now almost-four-years-old Volvo (how time flies!).
That definitely has ACC that works seamlessly from 0 to maximum speed and it cuts out after a few seconds at rest but just keeps the brakes on so doesn't creep. I think if you just left it like that it would eventually shout at the driver to take some action. If a jam moves off after after a delay you can either tickle the accelerator pedal or push the resume button.

I think it's just a single radar but there's definitely some integration with the camera (reads road signs etc.) parking sensors and blind-spot sensors. It also senses pedestrians and cyclists (not sure how) but I think that's only at lower (non-motorway) speeds. It's not brilliant at working out what to do when a vehicle pulls into the gap between you and whatever you're following though.

The lane warning/control (can be switched off separately) is fairly gentle and isn't designed to keep you in lane, though it has a go and works on gentler curves. And if you try to pull sideways into a vehicle in your blind spot it gets pretty firm!

I suspect that it actually has a bunch of separate systems with some information-sharing from sensors.
