Self Study Program 990393 – The 2019 Audi A8 Driver Assistance Systems
VAG SSP 990393. When it comes to the Audi A8, each model change marks the premiere of innovative solutions and new automotive systems. Each new Audi A8 model broadens the spectrum of driver assistance systems and extends the range of situations in which drivers are assisted by cutting-edge technology.
The 5th generation of the Audi A8 includes new features such as intersection assist – a system that assists drivers in impaired visibility situations such as at intersections and obscured exits. The system helps the driver to avoid collisions with cross-traffic ahead of the vehicle by issuing several different types of warning.
Adaptive cruise assist is also featured for the first time in the Audi A8. It assists the driver by providing longitudinal and lateral control assistance over a continuous speed range from 0 to 155.3 mph (0 to 250 km/h). This system combines several driver assistance systems featured previously in other Audi models.
A new laser scanner is being used for the first time. It is located at the front end of the vehicle and enhances the performance of existing systems by precisely surveying the area in front of the vehicle. New driver assistance systems would not be possible without it.
The 2019 Audi A8 utilizes, for the first time at Audi, a central driver assistance systems control module which acts as the master control for multiple assistance systems. Its service designation is Driver Assistance Systems Control Module J1121. It replaces several control modules whose functions are now integrated in J1121.
Several sensors are connected directly to J1121 but no longer utilize an in-car bus system. The sensor data is processed in J1121. This applies to the front camera for driver assistance systems and the four surround view cameras. In turn, J1121 receives data from the other sensors via the FlexRay bus.
The fact that all sensor data is now available in a single control module means it is possible to supply functions with high-quality data on the area around the vehicle. This, in turn, is the basis for further improvements in the performance of the various driver assistance systems.
