Despite what some prognosticators and auto manufacturers say, self-driving cars aren’t a thing. But they are getting closer to reality every year. Pushing forward to this autonomous future, on Thursday, Honda announced that in Japan it will offer a limited run of Legend sedans fitted with Level 3 automated-driving technology.
These special luxury cars will feature something called Honda Sensing Elite, which is a step above the automaker’s already-excellent Honda Sensing suite of driver aids. The new system will offer hands-free driving capability, similar to what GM’s excellent Super Cruise provides. In certain situations, it will be able to accelerate, steer and stop the vehicle without driver intervention, and it can even change lanes on its own.
