Can the new Golf drive itself? MK8 Golf Gti Clubsport
131The new golf, the mk8 gti clubsport can drive itself!! kind of! Can a family hatchback like the mk8 golf gti clubsport drive itself on the motorway and around town?
0:00 intro - car technology in 2021
3:46 Motorway test - can it drive itself on the motorway?
10:16 Town test - can it drive itself around town?
14:27 Conclusion - is it any good?
The mk8 gti clubsport comes as standard with plenty of driver assists and in this video we look specifically at the "autonomous driving" the adaptive cruise control with lane assist and steering.
It is crazy to think that "normal" cars in 2021 have these assists and technology as standard! The new golf can speed up, slow down, stop, engine off, engine on, turn corners, read road signs and adjust speed accordingly ON ITS OWN!! Its crazy!!
On the motorway this technology works really well and (kind of) the mk8 gti clubsport can actually drive itself, around town however these technologies and assists become more of a hindrance and actually quite dangerous when it tries to drag you about all over the place to stay in the middle of the lane.
It is very interesting to see how far cars have come and where we are going in the future. Bring it on!!
