Big size cars are a headache for parking in busy urban and city environments.  But the MG Gloster realizes the customer’s problem and came up with an advanced solution. MG Gloster’s sensors and cameras can automatically judge and do parallel and perpendicular parking as needed.  The driver only has to follow the instructions on the large colour information display.  Only time will tell if this feature will work perfectly for a country like India. Bear in mind, the car won’t do anything without driver input. All these features are provided to assist the driver.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise Control is a feature which is highly useful in highways for new drivers. It maintains a definite car speed.  To use cruise control, you set the desired speed limit and let the car do the work. However, the system stops working whenever you apply brakes. As a result, this feature is not very practical and useful for highways in India with speed breakers and unpredictable traffic.

The Adaptive Cruise Control however with its radars and cameras monitors the traffic up ahead and keeps a safe distance. The System also automatically changes the cruise speed as needed and the driver does not need to constantly re-engage it. For a country like India, this is perfect but then again its practicality can only be understood after driving the car in the real world.

Automatic Emergency Braking

The AEB is also a part of the Level-1 autonomous system.  It is a radar based feature that constantly identifies the probability of a forward crash and takes steps to prevent it. It can automatically slow or stop the vehicle. The system alerts the driver as soon as it identifies an obstacle and if the driver fails to respond, the system automatically takes appropriate steps.
