Key facts

Active Drive Assist 2 (company-stated)

Semi-automated coach guidance from 0 to 100 km/h, combining adaptive cruise control with active steering; the driver remains responsible.

Lane offset (company-stated)

Can center the coach in the lane or offset it about 10-20 cm left or right when both lane markings are clear.

Emergency stop (company-stated)

Uses radar and camera fusion shared with ABA 6; if hands-off warnings go unanswered for 60 seconds, it brakes to a stop with hazards and parking brake.

Development context

Daimler Truck distinguishes current driver assistance from its longer-term development of autonomous vehicle systems.
