PSA Group says it will introduce a self-parking feature next year in its upcoming DS 7 Crossback crossover vehicle.
The DS 7 (pictured) also will debut so-called Level 2 self-driving capabilities, in which the vehicle can manage its speed and steering automatically. PSA already offers several driver assistance features—automatic braking, adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping warnings—in several Citroen and Peugeot models.
The company hopes to add Level 3 technologies, which would enable a car to drive itself under certain circumstances but with constant human monitoring, sometime after 2020 under its new “autonomous vehicle for all” program. In 2015 PSA became the first carmaker to test autonomous cars on public roads in France and began evaluating the technology with “non-expert” drivers last month.
PSA has been relatively conservative about its plans for commercializing driver-assist and self-driving capabilities. Last month Chicago-based Navigant Consulting Inc. ranked the company 11th among 18 carmakers and suppliers in terms of its plans to offer autonomous technologies in production vehicles.
