Honda's Traffic Jam Pilot technology automatically monitors traffic conditions
The successful certification of Honda's automated driving technology, Traffic Jam Pilot, allows autonomous driving with production vehicles on Japanese public highways at speeds up to 50 km/h.
Car takes over functions of the driver
Level 3 automated driving technologies take control of the car under certain conditions. In this case, the vehicle takes over the functions of the driver.
The conditions under which the autonomous driving technology is operational at level 3 are determined on the basis of various factors, such as location, weather conditions and vehicle speeds. They may vary depending on the performance of the system.
Traffic Jam Pilot monitors traffic
When the autonomous driving assistant is activated by the driver, Honda's Traffic Jam Pilot technology automatically monitors the traffic situation. If the system deems the situation safe, it takes over driving and related functions for the driver.
System controls situation in real time
With the help of this technology, the car can follow the vehicle in front and stay in its lane without the driver's intervention. The system monitors road and traffic conditions in real time and remains active at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
If the system determines that the autonomous driving mode is no longer safe, it issues a warning so that the driver can take back control.
Comfort and safety at a high level
Honda's leading autonomous driving technology at Level 3 complements the advanced driving assists at Levels 1 and 2, which include active safety systems (Honda Sensing) and innovative passive safety technologies as deployed in various models.
