Driver Assistance Systems
Automatic High Beams
Switches between high- and low-beam headlamps automatically based on lighting, surroundings, and traffic.
Backup Camera
Provides view of area behind vehicle when in reverse. Could include trailer assistance, a system that assists drivers during backing maneuvers with a trailer attached.
Driver monitoring
Monitors drivers to determine whether they are actively engaged in the task of driving. Some systems monitor driver’s eye movement and head position.
Head-up display
Projects image of vehicle data and/or navigational info into the driver’s forward line of sight.
Night vision
Aids driver vision at night by projecting enhanced images on instrument cluster or head-up display.
Surround-view camera
Uses cameras located around vehicle to present view of surroundings.
Parking Assistance
ACTIVE PARKING ASSISTANCE
Controls steering and potentially other functions during parking. Driver may be responsible for acceleration, braking, and gear position. Some systems are capable of parallel and/or perpendicular parking.
Backup Camera
Parks vehicle without driver being physically inside the vehicle. Automatically controls acceleration, braking, steering, and shifting.
Emergency Intervention
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Detects potential collisions while in forward motion, provides forward collision warning, and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY STEERING
Detects potential collision and automatically controls steering to avoid or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
REAR AUTOMATIC BRAKING
Detects potential collision while traveling in reverse and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection
Collision Intervention
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Detects potential collisions while in forward motion, provides forward collision warning, and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
Rear Cross Traffic Warning
Detects vehicles approaching from the side and rear of vehicle while in reverse motion and alerts driver.
Parking Obstruction Warning
Detect obstructions near vehicle during parking maneuvers.
Lane Departure Warning
Detects potential collisions while in forward motion, provides forward collision warning, and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
Forward Collision Warning
Detects impending collision while traveling forward and alerts driver. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
Comfort & Style Features
Ventilated Seats
Ventilated seats are one of our favorite modern luxury car features. They work like heated seats, bringing climate control to the seat itself. The result is that most drivers and passengers won’t need to use so much air conditioning since they instead can rely on ventilated seats to stay cool.
Remote Start
These systems allow you to start the car by using the key fob. That gives the car time to warm up, meaning you never have to sit inside a cold car on a winter day.
Massaging Seats
This feature includes air bladders that inflate and deflate as you drive down the road. Most high-end cars use up to 10 such bladders, which provide the kneading feeling you get from an actual massage.
Executive Rear Seats
Executive rear seats come with a full-length center console, which boasts audio and climate controls. The seats are typically adjustable, as well. They usually can be reclined, like airplane seats.
Active Suspension
Active suspension systems use sensors to determine the severity of a bump in the road. Then they adjust the wheel’s travel to minimize the bump’s impact on passengers, which leads to a vastly improved ride. Active suspension systems also reduce body roll to provide a more stable ride around corners.
