The steering part is much improved if following another vehicle off highway. It can also slow for junctions, navigation exits, and roundabouts.
The new tech will allow the car to stop at traffic lights and stop signs automatically. It will not restart the car when the light turns to green if you are the first car in the queue, but will alert the driver to set off.
There are a couple of additional features planned, but I don't know how practical they are or if they will ever see the light of day:
- Prevent undertaking
- form an emergency lane in congestion. This looks to automatically move the car onto the side of the road when an emergency vehicle approaches. Would need multiple vehicles to support the feature to truly work well but I can see the benefit.

Sounds interesting, so basically the semi-autonomous features will work in a more urban/non-highway environment if/when this is implemented. Is additional equipment/hardware required? Or does the equipment that comes with the Driving Assistant Professional Package have all the hardware needed?
