According to a study by Deloitte, opinions on autonomous driving vary widely around the globe - while almost 60 percent of those surveyed in China and India rated the trend as positive, this figure was significantly lower in the USA and Germany at less than 40 and 25 percent respectively.
But all the countries surveyed have one thing in common: when it comes to intelligent assistance systems that help relieve the driving task on the highway or in city traffic, approval rises significantly. Almost 70 percent of the Chinese, around 65 percent of the Americans and over half of the more skeptical Germans rated vehicle-based assistance for parking, lane centering and adaptive cruise control, or emergency braking as desirable. These individual assistance functions, however, are even more effective when they are seamlessly integrated. Level 2+ describes the existing systems that ZF links together into an intelligent semi-automated solution with a central electronic control unit. With a wide-ranging portfolio for all requirements, the Group ensures that owners of more affordable vehicle models can also benefit from these developments.
