Intelligent driving is the current hot spot of automobile development and the inevitable trend of future development, the world's major automobile manufacturers, Internet companies have successively entered the intelligent driving track, and constantly contribute their own strength to explore and innovate, and promote the rapid development of intelligent driving technology. Under the blessing of intelligent driving technology, the majority of car owners not only have a convenient and easy driving experience, but also greatly increase their sense of security.
Intelligent driving technology is becoming more and more perfect, it is no longer a gimmick for high-end cars, and many A-class cars with more than 100,000 are also equipped with functions such as automatic driving technology and intelligent safety assistance. Taking the 7th Generation Elantra, the Eleventh Generation Civic and the 2021 Corolla as representatives of the A-Class cars, let's take a look at the different performances of the three cars in intelligent driving and safety performance.
(7th Generation Elantra)
Urban townships and towns are short-distance driving, no dead ends and comprehensive protection
The maturity of intelligent driving technology lies in whether it can cope with more complex road conditions. Urban roads are prone to traffic jams, while there are many uncertainties in township and urban village roads, vehicles and pedestrians passing by, kittens and dogs crossing the road, and so on. However, with the configuration of the seventh generation Elantra, it can easily cope with these situations. When encountering traffic jams on urban roads, the SCC intelligent cruise control with parking function can be directly opened, and the car enters the cruise state at a constant speed, keeping a distance from the car in front, moving forward and stopping steadily, thereby reducing the driving burden of the owner.
In the township or urban village and other more complex road conditions, the seventh generation of Elantra equipped with 23 ADAS will begin to work, FCA front anti-collision assistance will be through the millimeter wave radar and camera in front of the car, always detect the vehicles and pedestrians in front, when the premonition will collide with the obstacles in front, will issue an alarm reminder, according to the situation auxiliary braking or full braking, to avoid collisions, to ensure driving safety. In the steering, reversing, BCA blind zone collision assist and RCCA rear cross collision assist function can assist the driver to drive, the working principle and FCA front collision assist similar, detect the side rear and rear road conditions, to avoid collisions, SVM360 ° panoramic image, DRM rear image display system and other auxiliary functions can bring elantra without leaving a dead angle of comprehensive protection. Even the narrowest road conditions can be easily navigated.

The Eleventh Generation Civic also has a similar driving assistance function, and its TJA traffic congestion assistance function is specially designed to cope with urban traffic jam environments, and can achieve driving in the range of 0-45km/h. At the same time, there is a collision mitigation braking system, which will detect pedestrians and vehicles in front of it through cameras and microwave radar, issue alarm prompts when there is a possible collision hazard, and actively brake emergency braking in emergency situations to avoid injury. However, in the township and urban villages and other environments, the eleventh generation civic performance will be slightly insufficient, because its entire vehicle only has a front camera, even if there are 8 millimeter wave radar all over the body, but it is still insufficient to deal with complex road conditions, when crossing narrow streets and alleys, drivers may be due to blind spots in the field of vision caused by scratching.
(Eleventh Generation Civic)
The 2021 Corolla is similar to the Eleventh Generation Civic, in the process of driving on the city road, when encountering traffic jams, you can start the DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, with the assistance of the PCS pre-collision safety system, the car will automatically follow the front car to stop and go, to a certain extent to reduce driving fatigue. However, when faced with complex road conditions such as townships and urban villages, the configuration of the Corolla is slightly insufficient. Corolla only has a front camera and millimeter wave radar, and no side, rear camera or radar, so in these complex environments, the driver needs to be vigilant and personally drive to avoid collisions.

High-speed long-distance driving, different road conditions are easily handled
Compared with the complex road conditions of cities, towns and urban villages, the driving environment of highways is usually more stable, and the general adaptive cruise function can relieve the pressure for drivers.
The seventh generation of Elantra on this basis to go further, NSCC based on the navigation intelligent cruise control function on the basis of adaptive cruise function, but also based on navigation information to identify the speed limit camera and speed limit signs, through the speed limit range will automatically reduce to the appropriate speed, after leaving the speed limit range and then automatically restore the initial speed, to avoid novice drivers because they are not familiar with the road conditions and "eat tickets". When passing through corners, the curvature can also be judged by navigation information, and the speed of curvature can be slowed down according to the optimal speed of curvature, bringing the driver a safe and comfortable cornering experience.
(The 7th generation of Elantra NSCC based on navigation intelligent cruise control)
The eleventh generation Civic has ACC active cruise control system, which can detect the distance and speed difference between its own vehicle and the vehicle in front of it through radar and camera, and adjust the speed to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front, which is the basic function of adaptive cruise. It is worth mentioning that the Civic is equipped with the TSR traffic sign intelligent identification system, which can detect the speed limit sign on the highway through the front camera and display the sign content to remind the driver to slow down. This function undoubtedly requires the driver to actively intervene in the driving operation, and it also requires the driver to pay more attention when passing through the corner to avoid the vehicle rushing out of the lane, which is slightly deficient compared to the Elantra's automatic driving function.
The 2021 Corolla also uses DRCC dynamic radar cruise control and PCS pre-collision safety system on the highway to complete the highway adaptive cruise driving, and most A-class cars in the domestic market currently have similar functions. However, Corolla cannot judge whether there is a speed limit mark in front of it based on navigation or camera information, nor can it predict whether there is a curve in front of it in advance, so even during the cruising function, the driver still needs to pay attention to the speed limit and curves at all times to avoid speeding or rushing out of the lane when cornering.
Through the comparison of the above three A-class cars, Civic has obvious advantages in automatic driving technology compared to Corolla, but whether it is urban traffic or high-speed driving, the seventh generation Elantra has the top intelligent driving technology in the A-class car market, and has absolute advantages in automatic driving and safety, and has a technical height that cannot be reached by the other two cars.
