All new Volkswagen vehicles are available with many advanced safety features that are designed to protect occupants in a wide range of possible crash scenarios. Here are some of the most impressive features that are either standard or available in many models.
The Travel Assist
Many of the more upscale trim levels of Volkswagen vehicles are equipped with the Travel Assist system, which is a safety and convenience feature that makes driving on the highway more enjoyable and less dangerous. This system is capable of monitoring the vehicle’s position relative to surrounding vehicles and road markings, which makes it possible to let the vehicle do most of the driving on some major highways, as long as the driver is paying attention to the road.
The forward collision warning with pedestrian detection
Most Volkswagen vehicles come standard with the forward collision warning system, which uses a number of cameras and sensors to detect any potential obstacles such as pedestrians or other vehicles. This is the most well-known active safety system in the automotive industry and it is also one of the most effective. This technology uses the same sensors as the adaptive cruise control in order to quickly determine that an obstacle is in the way. If the driver doesn’t respond to the warning, the system can also apply the brakes on its own to help prevent or mitigate a potential crash.
The lane-keeping assist
Another way to make Volkswagen vehicles safer is to ensure that they always remain in their own lane when driving on roads where lane markings are easily visible. By monitoring the position of the vehicle in its lane, it is capable of warning the driver when the vehicle is drifting out of the lane, most often due to a lack of driver attention. This same system also works in conjunction with the blind spot monitoring system since this technology only issues an audible warning when it detects the crossing of a lane marking while the turn signal is not in use.
