If the system instructs the driver to resume control through audible, tactile and visual alerts, but the driver does not reconnect the controls because he is busy with the TikTok delay, Emergency Stop Assist will be activated. This will guide the car to a safe stop on the shoulder. If there is no shoulder, the vehicle will crawl to a stop with its dangers flashing and the horn honking. As Honda emphasized at its launch when announcing the Honda Sensing Elite, it takes the abuse of its automated steering systems more seriously than the company that started the fashion.
“There is a limit to the capabilities (for example, recognition capabilities and control capabilities) of individual Honda Sensing Elite functions,” says an official statement. “Do not overestimate the capabilities of each Honda Sensing Elite function and drive safely, paying constant attention to your surroundings. Stay in a position to respond to the transfer request issued by the system and resume driving immediately after the transfer request.”
Honda claims that the Sensing Elite was tested in 10 million unique simulated scenarios and 800,000 miles of real-world testing before deciding that the technology was ready for prime time, albeit in a limited edition of its exclusive Honda Legend sedan. Japan. If the legend seems familiar, it is because we received it as the Acura RLX until it was discontinued here last year. Only 100 cars with the technology will be made available in Japan and will cost the equivalent of US $ 101,900. None of these legends will make it to the United States, and with vehicle autonomy partially regulated at the individual state level, it will still be a while before you can have fun with Netflix on your next-generation Honda Civic Type R.
