Like driving automatically? I've actually used the Traffic Jam Assist on my Porsche Panamera!

Porsche 971 Panamera Turbo
Reviews & Test Rides

The only drawback is...?

The difficulties my husband felt were.Trying to run very far to the right.If you are so far to the right that you sometimes step on the white line and hear a "gulp" sound (laughs), the camera will catch the car in front of you and follow it, so even though if the car in front of you is driving to the right, our car will also be to the right...by the way, this is what it looks like.

It's definitely pretty right (laughs).

However, he says it is still easy because he does not have to operate the system himself every time he is in traffic. This feature is optional.There are two types of adaptive cruise control: adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist and adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, so if you choose the latter option, it will be included.

Driving is the driver's responsibility

However, although very convenient, the Panamera manual says this.

Traffic Jam Assist makes driving very comfortable, but avoid reckless driving. It is the driver's responsibility to stay in his/her lane and to judge traffic conditions correctly at all times.It is.Hands on the steering wheel at all times and ready to steerPlease stay.
Also, never use Traffic Jam Assist in the following situations
- When the driver needs more attention than usual.
- Inclement weather such as snow or heavy rain
- Off-road or unpaved roads. Traffic Congestion Assist is designed for use on paved roads.
- City and road construction parcels.
- Narrow lane.
- Unstable traffic conditions at junctions and toll booths.


Indeed. Even though it is as comfortable as automatic driving, drivers should always remember the awareness and responsibility of driving and always drive safely.

    When the system tries to operate the steering wheel, it judges whether the driver is operating the steering wheel or not by the presence or absence of reaction force from the steering wheel.
    Using this principle, if you sit on your left foot with both hands talking to each other (just in case your right foot is slamming on the brake at any time) and press your knee or thigh against the steering wheel, the car will drive automatically. The other day I drove through a 15 km traffic jam section without once touching the steering wheel.

      Oh, yes, that's possible! It is certainly theoretically possible.
      I admire Kenny for attempting this challenge and driving through, and Porsche's ACC technology with Traffic Jam Assist is also amazing...!
