Cruise control plans accleration and braking based on traffic, speed limits, and topographical information. | ||||
Car will accelerate, steer, and brake itself at low speeds as long as it has another car ahead of it driving at a low speed and it can detect the lane markings. | ||||
Often must be ordered with power rear side windows, if these are available. | ||||
Liftgate can be opened and closed using buttons inside the vehicle and on the keyfob. | ||||
Enter and start the vehicle without removing the key from your pocket. | ||||

Brakes, Airbags, and Other Safety | ||||
Rear disc brakes. | ||||
If active, automatically move forward when the vehicle is rear-ended. Note: becoming less common. | ||||
Only listed when pricing a single model because insufficient data for all cars. | ||||
Automatically pulse the brakes in hard stops to prevent wheels from locking up, making it possible to brake and steer at the same time. | ||||
Small external cameras provide a top-down view all around the vehicle, to reduce blind spots while parking. | ||||
If collision detection system senses imminent collision, applies moderate braking. | ||||
Automatically brakes car to avoid low-speed collisions. | ||||
Mirror-mounted lights indicate when another vehicle is in a blind spot. | ||||
When a panic stop is sensed, fully applies the brakes. | ||||
Adjusts seats and/or head restraints when sensors detect that the car is likely to be hit from the rear. Might also flash rear lights to warn approaching car. | ||||
Warns of traffic coming from either direction when vehicle is in reverse, to prevent accidents when backing out of parking spaces. | ||||
Only listed if not standard on all trims. No value because no way to compare across models. | ||||
Warns when driver is drowsy and needs to pull over. | ||||
Applies the brakes to a slipping drive wheel to transfer torque to the other side, simulating the effect of a limited-slip differential. We haven't identified all applications, often implied by traction control. | ||||
If the driver initiates an evasive maneuver to avoid an object ahead of the car, the car will automatically steer the amount necessary to avoid hitting the object, if possible. | ||||
Indicates number of seconds behind preceding car. | ||||
Alerts driver when approaching the preceding car too quickly. | ||||
Mandatory, in all cars. | ||||
Applies the brakes to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. Incomplete data, so only displayed when pricing a single vehicle. | ||||

Beeps signal distance to object behind vehicle. Parking aid. | ||||
Warns driver of pedestrians in path of car. | ||||
Prepares brakes (and sometimes also seat belts) for use when radar detects an imminent collision. Might also move seats and close windows. Early Lexus system used laser. Since automatic braking became common it has been unclear which models have this feat | ||||

Airbags contained just above the window level. Except in cars without a rear seat usually cover first and second row. | ||||
Selectively applies the brakes to prevent excessive understeer or oversteer (spinning). | ||||
Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||||
Uses the brakes to channel torque to the outside wheels and counteract understeer. Similar to stability control, but proactive, and acting to improve cornering performance rather than prevent loss of control. | ||||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||
Pulses the inside rear brake to help the vehicle make sharper turns at low speed in low range. | ||||
Warns of cars approaching from the rear when a door is opened. | ||||
Wide angle camera allows the driver to see well to each side from the very front of the car when pulling out of parking spaces or side streets. | ||||
