Volkswagen has announced changes to its 2021 model lineup. The biggest news is how most VW models will be equipped with the automaker’s new MIB3 infotainment system. For the first time in the U.S., new driver assistance features like Emergency Assist and Travel Assist will also be available for VW vehicles. 

What Are Travel Assist & Emergency Assist"

VW’s Travel Assist allows for partially automated hands-on driving. Travel Assist uses the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist systems to help the driver with the steering, accelerating, and braking while guiding the vehicle within the intended lane. It does not allow for hands-free driving.
