The upgraded Audi A8 - Three packages - the driver assistance systems

Around 40 driver assistance systems are available in the revised Audi A8. Some of them – including the safety systems Audi pre sense basic and Audi pre sense front – come as standard, while the optional equipment is clustered in the “Parking”, “City” and “Tour” packages. The assistance package plus combines the packages. Features such as the night vision assistant and the area cameras are available individually. The highlight of the "Parking" package is the remote parking assistant plus: It can automatically drive the large sedan into and out of parallel and end-on parking spaces. Drivers don't even have to sit in the car. The "City" assistance package includes the intersection assistant, the rear cross-traffic assistant, the lane change warning, the exit warning and the Audi pre sense 360° safety system, which in combination with the active suspension causes a side crash elevation. The "Tour" assistance package, which is standard in Germany, is particularly richly equipped. Its central system is the adaptive driving assistant, which regulates longitudinal and lateral guidance across the entire speed range. Behind the assistance systems in the Audi A8 is the central driver assistance control unit (zFAS), which constantly calculates a differentiated image of the environment
