Honda’s concept of automated drive

The driver has a sense of confidence and trust, and finds mobility more attractive

Honda aims to realize automated drive that the driver has a sense of confidence and trust in. Honda is developing technology that accurately forecasts risks under any circumstance, gives the driver, and those around, a sense of confidence, does not cause dangerous situations, and stays away from danger.

Honda also aims to realize a smooth, natural ride, as if an experienced driver is behind the wheel, despite being an automated drive.

And, Honda aims to provide the joy of mobility that the driver has a sense of confidence and trust in, and finds mobility more attractive.

Future needs of the mobility society

A revolution in mobility led by automated drive technology is needed.

In the cities, the concentration of population exacerbates traffic congestion and shortage of parking space. Travel by car has become frustrating.

In the suburbs, cars become more important as facilities become fewer and fewer.

In depopulating areas, decreasing birthrates and an aging populace causes cutbacks in public transport, making traveling harder.

To adapt to these changes in our society, to make mobility in our daily lives and our holidays more attractive, a revolution in mobility led by automated drive technology is needed.
