Auto Lane Change

sunnypilot's Auto Lane Change feature allows the vehicle to automatically change lanes with minimal driver input.

Key Setting and How to Use

  • Nudge to Confirm: This is the default method. To perform a lane change, activate the turn signal in the desired direction and then gently turn the steering wheel (nudges) in the same direction to confirm the maneuver.
  • Nudge-less Lane Change: For a more automated experience, users can enable a "nudge-less" option. With this setting, you only need to activate the turn signal to initiate a lane-change.
  • Nudge-less with Delay This is same as Nudge-less mode, but with a fixed delay. Once the turn-indicator is activated, sunnypilot will wait for the selected delay before initiating the lane change.
  • Delay with Blind Spot: This crucial safety feature adds a delay to the lane change if the vehicle's blind spot monitoring (BSM) system detects an object. The lane change will only proceed after the blind spot is clear.

Important Considerations

  • Manual Override: The driver can regain control at any time by taking control of the steering wheel.
  • Driver Monitoring: sunnypilot utilizes driver monitoring to ensure the driver remains attentive.
  • Object Detection: The system is primarily designed to follow lane lines and may not detect all objects. The driver must always be prepared to take control.
  • Lane Markings: The feature's performance is dependent on clear and visible lane markings.
