Autonomous

BMW is showing off new in-car video and gaming offerings, as well as an upcoming AI-powered voice assistant and automated parking functions.

Ultra Cruise is an evolution of GM’s existing Super Cruise system, which is slowly trickling down into a growing pool of the automaker’s vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz will be the first automaker to offer U.S. consumers a conditionally automated driving system on public freeways.

The newest version will debut on 2023 models, but Ford has not yet shared any plans regarding if or when these features might appear on vehicles already sold and on the road.

We tested Ford’s BlueCruise on a 1,100-mile road trip from Chicago to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and back to see how well the technology works.

Beginning Sept. 5, the price of the Full Self-Driving feature will rise to $15,000 from $12,000.

Enhanced Autopilot offers a middle ground between Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, with additional highway and parking assist features for $6,000.

Cars with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that automate some tasks — braking, acceleration and steering in some situations — are more common at all price levels for 2022.

A recall affecting the entire Tesla lineup has been issued over its Full Self-Driving system’s “rolling stop” function, available with FSD Beta.

As more semi-autonomous driving features are introduced, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety is launching a new program to evaluate their safeguards.
