This situational awareness will be especially important as more roads are made available for hands-free driving and self-driving capabilities improve. The transition from hands-free and autonomous driving to hands-on driving, according to Swedish engineers, is critical. It wishes to make the transfer “effortless and intuitive.” The driver will first look to the display behind the steering wheel for traditional information such as speed and range, as well as to understand the operational status of the driver aids. Colour-coding the gauge display to convey how much work ProPilot Assist is doing sounds like another take on what Nissan does with the Ariya.
