NIO does indeed have autonomous driving capabilities, but more accurately, it's called NIO NAD, an advanced driver assistance system. I personally use this feature frequently while driving—it handles tasks like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and automatic lane changes, making long highway trips more relaxing. Of course, it's not fully autonomous yet; you must always monitor the steering wheel, or the system will prompt me to correct. NIO continuously upgrades it through software updates, adding urban navigation assist last year, which significantly improved its practicality. From a safety perspective, it relies on cameras and radar, making it sensitive to weather changes—performance may degrade in heavy rain, for example. Overall, it's far more advanced than my previous car, but don't rely on it too much, as the technology is still evolving. NIO has promised to add more autonomous capabilities in the future. In daily use, I'm quite satisfied with its stability and efficiency and recommend trying the settings before long trips.
