Autopilot Driving ( TAP)

The German automaker is working on a system called Temporary Auto Pilot (TAP) which can semi-automatically drive a car on its own under limited conditions.

what is the tap?

TAP works by combining other functions like ACC adaptive cruise control and Lane Assist (which helps keep the car within a lane) into an integrated system. Always monitored by the driver, and always leaving her/him the ability to override the system when needed, TAP can drive a car 'semi-automatically' at speeds of up to 130 km/h (81 mph) on a highway.

Temporary Auto Pilot operates at speeds of up to 80 mph, automatically controlling steering, accelerating and braking, obeying speed limits and forbidding overtaking from the right. Generally, its a great option.

HAVEit

The system was designed as part of a European Union research project called HAVEit (Highly Automated Vehicles for Intelligent Transport), a $40 million (€28 million) project partially funded by European automakers.
