The requirements of Nevada Chapter 482A for Autonomous Vehicles means DRIVE PILOT will allow the driver to hand over in motion driving to the vehicle only under certain conditions. On suitable freeway sections and where there is high traffic density, DRIVE PILOT can offer to take over the dynamic driving task, up to the speed of 40 mph. The control buttons needed for this are located in the steering wheel rim, on the left and right above the thumb recesses. Once conditions are suitable, the system indicates availability on the control buttons.

If the driver activates DRIVE PILOT, the system controls the speed and distance, and guides the vehicle within its lane. The route profile, events occurring on the route and traffic signs are correspondingly taken into consideration. The system also reacts to unexpected traffic situations and handles them independently by evasive maneuvers within the lane or by braking maneuvers.
