Honda Builds Accord with "Autopilot" Tech

The driver presets the cruise control at whatever speed he or she thinks appropriate -- at 70 miles per hour, for example. "If a car pulls into the space in front of the ADAS car, the cruise control will slow the car down," said Graham Avent, a spokesperson for Honda UK. The car also can steer itself around bends in the road.



Honda UK has launched a car that can drive itself on motorways and dual-carriageways, the British equivalent of freeways.

When it is in self-drive mode, the new Honda Accord ADAS automatically accelerates and decelerates, and can steer around bends. However, its Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) self-drive technology only works on motorways and dual-carriageways.
