A self-driving Mazda car isn't on the market just yet, but we're getting there. Many of the vehicles found here at Heritage Mazda Catonsville can be equipped with advanced features that take over some driving tasks for you. You need to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, but your Mazda car or SUV can do a few things that might surprise you.
Lane-Keep Assist
A Mazda vehicle with this feature can keep track of your position on the road and in your lane. Drivers who drift out of their lane on the highway can easily get into an accident.
If you begin to drift out of your lane, this technology can actually help you correct the problem. It can only make minor steering inputs, but it's still quite impressive to see in action.
Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection
This technology tries to predict impacts when you're driving on crowded city streets. It looks out for other vehicles and pedestrians. If this feature thinks that a collision is imminent, it will warn you and apply the brakes on its own if needed.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control
Regular cruise control keeps your car driving at a set speed. This technology is a little different. Mazda Radar Cruise Control keeps you traveling at the desired speed, but it also keeps an eye on the traffic in front of you.
If other cars slow down, your Mazda vehicle will slow down automatically. Your car can even come to a stop on its own if traffic grinds to a halt.
