Can You Drive an Audi with a Driving System Malfunction?

Audi with a driving system malfunction cannot be driven. Taking the 2021 Audi A4 as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of: length 4762mm, width 1847mm, height 1436mm, wheelbase 2825mm, fuel tank capacity 54l, and curb weight 1665kg. The 2021 Audi A4 features a five-link independent suspension at the front and a five-link independent suspension at the rear. It is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 204ps, maximum power of 150kw, maximum torque of 320nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Last time I drove my friend's Audi A6, the same warning light came on while I was on the highway, which scared me so much that I immediately turned on the hazard lights and pulled over. Simply put, it depends on the type of fault. If it's just an electronic system false alarm, like a lane departure assist failure, you can still drive slowly to the service area. But if the steering wheel suddenly becomes heavy, or the throttle and brake responses feel off, don't push your luck. Audi's driving system controls life-saving functions like power steering and active braking. A fault means the computer that helps you drive suddenly goes on strike. The technician at the dealership last time told me that with a yellow light, you must get it checked within 30 kilometers at most, and if a red light comes on, you must stop immediately and call a tow truck.
