How is the L2 autonomous driving of the Teana?
3 Answers
Teana's L2 autonomous driving lane keeping is extremely gentle, and the ACC supports full-speed range following. Introduction to Cruise Control: Cruise control is a system that allows the driver to maintain a fixed preset speed without operating the steering wheel, clutch, or accelerator pedal. By activating the cruise control switch, the system automatically adjusts the throttle opening based on changes in road resistance to maintain a constant driving speed. Precautions for Cruise Control: Do not use cruise control on winding roads or slippery surfaces; when driving on steep slopes, adjust the accelerator pedal according to the gradient to maintain speed; when going downhill, shift gears as needed based on the slope.
I usually pay attention to automotive technology. The L2 autonomous driving system in the Teana is called ProPILOT, and the experience is quite good. It features adaptive cruise control to automatically adjust speed, follows the vehicle ahead for stop-and-go, and uses lane-keeping assist to keep the car centered, reducing fatigue during long highway drives. Activation is simple—just press a button—and it combines cameras and radar to detect road conditions. However, it has significant limitations: you must keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, the system fails in sharp curves or when road markings are unclear, and performance degrades in rain or fog. Compared to Honda Sensing in the same class, it’s smoother but less intelligent than Tesla’s basic Autopilot. From a safety perspective, it includes automatic emergency braking to prevent rear-end collisions but cannot handle sudden pedestrian or vehicle intrusions. Overall, it’s suitable for daily commutes and highways, with high reliability, but drivers should remain alert and not rely on it entirely. It’s recommended to maintain the sensors regularly and avoid using it in complex environments.
As a family car user, I find the L2 autonomous driving feature of the Teana to be a great help. On long trips with kids, the automatic following and lane-keeping functions make driving much easier, eliminating the need to constantly press the accelerator or worry about drifting. Once activated, the speed control is smooth, and it can automatically start and stop in traffic jams, which is quite convenient. However, remember it's not fully autonomous; you must always stay alert to road conditions. In rain or snow, its response may slow down, so manual operation is recommended. On city streets, sharp turns can cause it to fail, and the conservative speed limit control may affect overtaking rhythm. Compared to other models in the same price range, it's user-friendly and affordable, but there's limited room for upgrades. For daily driving, it reduces fatigue risks—just remember to regularly check fuses and circuits to avoid malfunctions.
