Audi's traffic jam assist feature
Has anyone successfully hacked this to make it drive autonomously all the time?
Seems like it would be a great idea to cut down on commuting stress.

there's a difference. i think that on most cars, adaptive cruise control will not engage if the vehicle is travelling below a certain speed.

How would you cheat the system for it to drive for you? Turn Active Lane Assist on and set Distronic Plus? How would that work on curves?
On the Benz Adaptive Cruise control, it is able to fully stop the vehicle and start it again without ever touching anything.

Yes, Active Lane Assist will steer for you, while the ACC will modulate the gas/brakes. It will only work at certain conditions though (the self steering will only work under certain speed, ACC won't work in bad weather). The "cheat" is to have the knee in contact with the wheel, since the the Active Lane Assist would tell you to grab the wheel if you let it go for too long. Although personally I would still grab the wheel even if I had Distronic Plus, the ACC would be relaxing enough for me.KiraSensei wrote: ↑How would you cheat the system for it to drive for you?

Im not sure if i trust my car enough to do that, since they dont really advertise it as a self driving feature.MikeMC12 wrote: ↑Yes, Active Lane Assist will steer for you, while the ACC will modulate the gas/brakes.

No idea on Audi, but on a Benz, it stops abruptly to keep the set distance.Super_Chicken wrote: ↑If every care on the road had these features traffic would move so much nicer.
I wonder how the audi handles people cutting infront of your when your car leaves a huge gap all the time.

That sounds terrible, seems like it would just cause a chain reaction of everyone behind slamming their brakes.KiraSensei wrote: ↑No idea on Audi, but on a Benz, it stops abruptly to keep the set distance.
