We've heard of
radar assisted cruise control,
that has certain luxury cars running at set speeds on the highway, but slows them down or speeds them up when they get
too close to a car in front or behind. Well now Honda UK is taking it to another level with their Advanced Driver
Assist System (ADAS) that not only regulates your speed, but manages the turning, allowing you a full
auto-pilot system for your
Accord when you're out on the freeway. The Adaptive Cruise Control is your regular radar variety, but the Lane Keep
Assist System keeps you headed in the right direction by using a camera on the rear-view mirror to watch the white
lines and turn accordingly. Honda was quick to point out that their system isn't exactly set up for you to take a nap,
since the ADAS system will beep every 10 seconds to make sure you're paying attention, requiring you to touch the
steering wheel to inform the car you're still in charge, but we're sure someone is going manage an accident and an
ensuing lawsuit or three out of this "convenience".
