Heavy traffic on highways

My husband came to work the other day in his Panamera, and he tried using the Traffic Jam Assist feature because the highway was jammed so badly.

What is Porsche's Traffic Jam Assist feature?

Enables vehicles to maintain the lanes calculated by the system.ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is ONIf it isSystem automatically steers vehicle within system limitsDo this by(However, the driver should always hold the steering wheel so that he/she can operate the steering wheel at any time.)This system is designed toDesigned for driving on highways and well-developed suburban roadsThe company has been

It is called.(I've summarized the description in the Panamera specifications manual)

As if on autopilot?

And if the meter shows the following(if the display is green)It means that the system is working properly.

By the way, what is the Lane Keep Assist function?

The system uses a camera attached to the rear-view mirror to detect the lane-keep assist lane course within the system's range, and when the vehicle approaches the lane and is in danger of deviating from the travel lane, the system activates the corrective steering.

The driver can disable the operation at any time by holding the steering wheel. So, if the "Traffic Jam Assist" is turned on this timeEven when you take your foot off the gas pedal or brake at all, it will follow the car in front of you like this.

If the car in front of you hits the brake, the car will also hit the brake on its own in response, and within a certain period of time(The manual doesn't give detailed seconds either.)If the car in front starts to move forward, the driver steps on the accelerator pedal and starts driving again.

Wow!!! Holy shit, it's like a dream come true!

When I keep my hand spoken from the steering wheel as a test, this display appears after a while.

according to one's husband"The amount of time I had my hands off the steering wheel, I think it was about a minute, sensibly - it seemed like quite a long time."I was told that this is the case. I checked the specification manual, but it did not specifically say how long I had to take my hand off the handle to get the warning.

If Traffic Jam Assist is ON, the driver's steering operation is monitored. If the steering wheel is not operated, a warning message will appear in the instrument cluster within a short time.

And when I start to steer, the "Traffic Jam Assist" turns on again. My husband wasSmarter than the cruise control in my Volkswagen Golf."He said. But there is one drawback, he said.
