Self-driving Capabilities

Sensor and camera-equipped models from Audi and Volkswagen, among others, don't just automatically brake to prevent minor accidents; they can actually navigate（行驶）around highway traffic and into garages without a human at the wheel.

Attractive Dashboards

In addition to Ford's new Sync system, which better understands voice commands, Apple and Google have partnered with automakers to create interfaces（界面）as user-friendly as the ones on your smartphone.

Smarter Headlights

Audi's and BMW's ultra-bright laser headlights can detect oncoming cars and dim slightly to avoid disturbing their drivers. One problem: they're not yet legal in the U.S.

Self-parking Skills

The new model of BMW's all-electric can find its own spot in a parking lot, then send signals via a smart-watch app to contact its drivers.
