A major automaker is accelerating plans to develop advanced driver-assistance systems that could allow hands-free driving on highways within the next two years, relying heavily on artificial intelligence to monitor and control vehicles. The technology, already in testing phases, is designed to reduce driver workload by handling steering, acceleration, and braking under specific conditions. Industry experts note that while full autonomy remains years away, this step represents a significant leap toward semi-autonomous driving capabilities. Concerns about safety and regulatory approvals, however, remain key hurdles before widespread adoption.
