Use of the tool is very easy, and only had to activate the system via the keypad. "The system can be used in lane highway or in urban areas, provided the route is not too complicated," adds Audi.System, which is based on "adaptive cruise control function," is designed to work at speeds up to 37 mph. Two radar sensors monitor the fan-shaped, each with a 21-degree scanning angle and fields stretching up to 820 feet. A wide-angle video camera monitors the road signs and can detect other vehicles, pedestrians and guard rails. Eight ultrasonic sensors can also monitor the zone directly in front of the car and on the corners.
