► 2017 Volvo S90 - Pilot Assist Animation

The second generation of Pilot Assist, launched now in the Volvo S90, extends the scope of this semi-autonomous function to not only include low speed traffic jam situations but also include general driving situations on highways with proper road markings.
When the semi-autonomous Pilot Assist system is activated, acceleration, braking and steering are assisted in order to help the driver comfortably follow the traffic flow within the current lane.
The system also delivers enhanced speed and distance keeping and a more consistent and precise position in lane.
With generation two of Pilot Assist the system now offers steering assistance functionality up to 130 km/h and km/h and no longer needs a lead car. This means that Pilot Assist will be increasingly useful on long motorway trips where the road markings are clearly visible.
However the driver is expected to actively participate in the driving and remains responsible for monitoring, supervision, and over all operation of the vehicle. It is also important to emphasize that semi-autonomous systems are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.
The driver is always legally responsible for driving the vehicle (driver in the loop: hands on the wheel, eyes on the road, mind on driving).
