As technology continues to advance, the way we drive is also evolving. From cruise control to crash prevention, cars are now equipped with a network of cameras, sensors, and computers that work together to make your driving experience safer and more efficient. The ultimate goal is to have cars that are almost ready to drive on their own.
Recently, the Wall Street Journal visited the Toyota and Lexus headquarters in Texas to get an inside look at how driver assist systems are revolutionizing the way we drive. The video titled “How Cruise Control, Crash Prevention and Other Driver Assist Tech Work | WSJ Tech Behind” breaks down the technology behind these systems and explores what the future looks like for driver assist.
The video discusses driver monitoring, autonomous driving, and the future of driver assist. It explains how these systems use advanced engineering, computing, science, and algorithms to enhance safety and convenience for drivers. While the idea of self-driving cars is exciting, there are still questions about the safety of these automated backseat drivers.
Overall, “The Tech Behind” series delves into the fascinating world of technology that powers our favorite gadgets, including cars. As driver assist technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the future of transportation.

A computer cant drink and drive. We shouldnt give up
Is it too hard and old fashion for me to want buy just a truck and not a computer on wheels?
How wonderful what could possibly go wrong? And so easy to fix.
end of the world
Anyone recall the time when vehicles with driver assist systems were also affected by the chip shortage crisis?
Toyota, Volkswagen and every major automobile manufacturer halted their production due to shortage in availability of silicon chips for their vehicles!
It’s so cool to see how far we’ve come with technology. Soon there won’t be accidents or road deaths.

Lane detection makes me a better fighter, not a better driver. Battling lane assist while driving round a curve is a darn right danger. I did this in a Florida rental, it was diabolical. It doesn’t do perfect curves, it does a series of straight lines. How bad a driver are you to need to keep a car in its lanes? Useless technology. Nothing to celebrate.
I'm 44 years old. I live in NYC and recently got my driver's license after 15 years of not driving a car since I lived in Ohio. I rented my first car since 2008 and I was so overwhelmed with all of the tech inside. I never used GPS. I never used a dashboard touchscreen. I consider myself a tech savvy guy, but I was still overwhelmed. I mean, I didn't even know how to unlock the doors and start the engine because the car was keyless 😅
Interesting video. I have ProPilot Assist in my 23 Rogue. It's very helpful in keeping me in lane–especially on unfamiliar roads at night–and doing quick reaches to passenger or back seat. It requires your continued attention and will alert and finally stop you if it doesn't sense hands firmly on the wheel beyond a minute or so. It's the best of all worlds to me, I've seen too many videos of Tesla driver and passengers asleep as they drive down the highway–some with fatal consequences.
nice stache
How do you talk about automation without talking about Tesla? I literally commute to and from work everyday without hands with no issues. Downvoted for incomplete video.
This video report is very shallow and provides nothing of substance in terms of insight into how these systems work than any other similar video would have done 7 or so years ago. If you are reading this and have driven any car made in the last 5 years, or any car with any kind of autonomy in the last 10 years, don't bother wasting 6 minutes of your life and go watch an AI Driver or Sandy Munro car teardown video instead.
Tesla needs to bring real sensors back and not rely on cameras along. Never follow a Tesla, phantom braking is real.
EV's hand off driving system is literally this. And this technology has been around since 2010.
With such an abrupt brake, won't it invite accident from following traffic?
