> how breathlessly we (as an industry) talk about things like “autopilot” instead of “driver assist”
Is this true? I was just purchasing a car and did a lot of research. I was looking only at the European brands because I like the overall offering. There are different names, but none too flashy or promising too much.
How they call the driving assistant systems:
- BMW: Driving Assist (Regular/Plus/Professional)
- Volvo: Pilot assist
- Mercedes-Benz: they just describe the functions, i.e. active cruise control, steering assist, etc.
