This Honda Jazz has other tricks. When driving at speeds over 40mph it can * assist with the steering. It feels like an invisible hand is gripping the steering wheel! I can take both hands off the wheel and the car steers itself around bends, it really does! When combined with Adaptive Cruise Control the car will drive itself. After about 10 seconds of hands-off a big red message appears and a series of beeps are played. I haven't had a chance yet to find out what comes next. I think the car would apply the brakes rather than just relinquish control.
Apparently the car applies brakes on one side when cornering hard to assist the turn. I've not been aware of that happening though.
Apart from Cruise Control there is a speed limiting system*. This can be set manually, or it can read road signs and adjust the maximum speed.
The best thing about the car is that it has a hybrid drive system. I'm getting fantastic fuel economy. Typically better than 60 mpg. 500 miles from a tank full.
