How to Use Jaguar's Autonomous Driving Assistance System?

Start the car under safe conditions. Press the cruise control switch twice consecutively to activate the Autopilot autonomous driving assistance. Autonomous driving assistance can only be achieved under the premise of safe driving. When you need to use the Autopilot autonomous driving assistance function, you can enable or disable certain features of the Autopilot autonomous driving assistance via the touchscreen at any time. Assisted steering can only be achieved on roads with clear lane markings and slight angles. For example, it cannot be used at intersections or during sharp left or right turns.
Using Jaguar's autonomous driving assistance system, I felt a bit of novelty at first, but quickly got used to it. After getting in the car, first make sure the vehicle is started, then press the button on the steering wheel or select the driving assistance function via the central control screen. Once activated, the system automatically detects lane markings and keeps the vehicle centered, while using adaptive cruise control to maintain a set following distance—meaning it adjusts speed to slow down or accelerate with the car ahead. I often use it on highways to reduce fatigue; but I wouldn’t rely on it in urban areas, as it doesn’t react fast enough in curves or complex traffic—my hands always stay on the wheel, ready to take over. For safety, I recommend trying it in good weather and on straight roads, avoiding rainy days since sensors may malfunction. Over time, I’ve found it saves fuel and hassle, but it’s definitely not full self-driving—you still need to follow traffic rules.
