Level 1 - driver assistance

Adaptive cruise control that maintains a steady speed and a safe distance from the cars ahead – this is a typical example of Level 1. The car’s electronics make limited interventions in the driving, e.g. to make the vehicle accelerate, slow down or turn gently, but the car is always restricted to one function at a time (it can’t combine them). A whole host of systems like this can be found in ŠKODAs today. Besides the above, for example, there is Lane Assist (a system to keep the car in the correct lane) and Front Assist (a collision prevention system).
