How New Audi Vehicles Prevent Distracted Driving

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and the team at Audi Van Nuys wants to highlight the Audi safety features engineered to keep you focused, alert, and protected on every drive through Los Angeles and beyond. Here are some of the cutting-edge features that will serve as your co-pilot behind the wheel.

Attention and Drowsiness Detection

Every new Audi model includes a standard attention and drowsiness warning system. It continuously monitors your steering behavior and driving patterns, and if it detects signs of fatigue or inattention, a visual prompt appears in the Audi virtual cockpit® encouraging you to take a break. For long commutes on the 405 or 101, that kind of quiet vigilance matters.

Automatic Emergency Braking and Collision Warning

Audi pre sense® front is standard across the current lineup. The system uses radar and camera data to detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead. If it identifies a potential collision and you haven't reacted, it issues a warning and can apply emergency braking automatically. Swerve assist takes it further by helping guide a corrective steering maneuver in critical situations.

Audi Side Assist® and Blind-Spot Monitoring

Lane changes in heavy traffic demand full attention. Audi Side Assist® monitors your blind spots using rear-mounted radar sensors and provides a visual alert in the side mirror if it detects a vehicle in an adjacent lane. Rear cross-traffic assist adds another layer of awareness when reversing out of parking spaces.

Voice Controls and Head-Up Display

Keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road is easier when you can adjust navigation, climate, and phone calls through natural voice commands. Additionally, the available Audi head-up display projects speed, navigation cues, and driver-assist information directly into your line of sight, reducing the need to glance away from the road.
