Features:
Collision Warning: (working) Audible and visual warning if a possible collision with a car in front is detected. Autonomous emergency braking available for wheel / keyboard and mouse users.
Bus Routes Support: (working partly) Bus Routes on TC City Driving server can be detected and will be more realistic with announcements and other sound effects.
Blind Spot Warning: (working partly) A little warning will be displayed at the side of the screen if a car is in your blindspot, or approaching fast from behind.
Light Assist: (working) While performing a full emergency stop the car will automatically flash the taillights while braking and activate the hazard lights when stationary to alert the following vehicles.
Yield Warning: (working on Aston, Blackwood, Westhill, soon more) Warnings will be displayed when you are approaching an intersection if you have to give way to other traffic.
Cop Mode: (working) The program will not give collision warnings when playing as a cop. The Program will automatically turn on/off the siren if you start/end a chase. The Siren and strobe can also be turned on manually. A tracker displays the suspect's speed as well as
Cross Traffic Warning: (working) Works Up to approx. 110 kph. A warning will be displayed if a possible collision with crossing traffic is detected. If a collision is likely, the car will brake as necessary to avoid the collision.
Head-Up Display: (working) It shows the speed, collision warnings, and current RPM. The head-up display can be turned on or off in the driver assistance menu. The position is adjustable from V11.9.9.1.
PDC (Park Distance Control): (working) Displays the distance to the cars around and beeps, just like you'd expect a PDC to do! Works best with FZ5 and cars of similar size.
PSC (PACT Stability Control): (not that good yet) Uses the brakes of your vehicle to stop the car from spinning for example when evading something.
Gearbox: (working with FZ5 and some mods) Unlike the Live for Speed gearbox, the car will shift like a “normal” car would in real life. When suddenly flooring the throttle, kick down mode will be engaged and the car immediately shifts down into the gear that can deliver the most power at the current speed. Currently only working with Fz5. If turned on, it "replaces" the sequential gearbox. Auto clutch must be active in settings.
Emergency Stop Assist: (working as beta) If you are not attentive, the car will first give a visual, then an audible warning. If you still don't react, the car will automatically come to a stop. With a supported wheel, and when lanes are detected, the car will try to stay within its lane.
Trip Computer (working as beta) When driving supported cars, you can click on the bc icon in the head-up display to view your average or current fuel consumption or your range. Click on the button that displays it to switch modes. Your setting will be stored.
Lane Departure Warning: (working on some tracks) If a road with lane lines is detected (only Westhill and Blackwood, more tracks supported soon), the car will warn you if you are slowly drifting out of the lane. This system might also trigger the Emergency Stop Assist if you do not react. With a later update, a corrective steering input will be applied.
The car will display a green symbol next to the head-up display if lanes are detected.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: If engaged, the car will maintain the set speed. If a car in front is detected, the car will automatically slow down accordingly and accelerate back up to the set speed as soon as possible.
Later (V12+):
Lane Keeping Assist: The lane-keeping assist can be activated when traveling below 100 kph and on roads with corners having a maximum angle of 25°. The car will try to travel in the middle of the detected lane. This, however, can only be considered an assistant. The car will require you to put your hands onto your controller after 10 seconds if it doesn't detect your presence. The driver remains in control of the vehicle at all times.
Oncoming Traffic Warning: This warning will be issued if the car detects that you are heading towards oncoming traffic on the same street, for example when not paying attention.
Traffic Jam Assist: When traveling behind another car at speed of up to 40 kph, the car will stay in its lane and keep a safe distance. No driver intervention is required. As soon as a higher speed is reached, the system will prompt you to take over within 5 seconds. If you do not react, the car will come to a complete standstill in its lane.
