Bentley Continental GT V8 can be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist. These systems enable assisted driving in a wide range of speed. In this process, the system relies on systems including ACC Adaptive Cruise Control (longitudinal guidance) and Lane Assist system (latitudinal guidance). Semi-autonomous driving is activated using the lever behind the steering wheel. For legal and safety-relevant reasons drivers must permanently monitor the system – for this purpose, they must have at least one hand on the steering wheel. Thanks to new capacitive sensor technology in the steering wheel, it is sufficient if drivers merely touch it. However, if they let go of the steering wheel for more than ~15-30 seconds (it depends on the situation), visual and audible warning signals and a braking jolt are issued and implemented. The driver must react by this point at the latest and touch the steering wheel. I checked how traffic jam assist works in a city and how Bentley Continental GT runs in semi-autonomous mode on a highway. Enjoy the review! :)
