Next-Gen Technologies Set To Debut in Honda Sensing 360 and Honda Sensing Elite Safety and Driver Assistive Systems

Dustin Hawley | Dec 15, 2022

Honda recently announced plans to enhance the capabilities of the brand’s Honda Sensing 360 and Honda Sensing Elite advanced safety and driver-assistive systems. Set to begin rolling out in the 2nd half of the decade, the improved Honda Sensing 360 system will be standard on all new Honda and Acura models in the U.S. by 2030. Honda Sensing 360 will be known as AcuraWatch™ on all Acura vehicles equipped with this technology.

Next-Gen Technologies Set To Debut in Honda Sensing 360 and Honda Sensing Elite Safety and Driver Assistive Systems

Currently available on specific models sold in China, the first generation of Honda Sensing 360 has an expanded sensory range around the entire vehicle that mitigates blind spots to enhance collision avoidance. Set to begin in China in 2024, the next generation of Honda Sensing 360 will feature new advanced technologies designed to reduce the likelihood of collisions. By accurately detecting abnormal conditions and the vehicle’s surroundings, Honda Sensing 360 will reduce health-related or human error-triggered collisions with these new technologies.

In addition to Honda Sensing 360, the automaker will also accelerate the advancement and adoption of Honda Sensing Elite, a variation of Honda Sensing that features a multitude of advanced safety technologies. Honda has been developing technologies that will assist drivers in achieving a safe, seamless ride to their destination, including:

  • Technologies to assist drivers on non-expressways, including a hands-off function while driving through a traffic jam on arterial roads 
  • Enabling hands-off functions when merging onto and exiting from an expressway at a road junction
  • Assisting drivers by automatically parking in and driving out of a home garage

By applying Honda’s original AI, which like humans, “grows” as it accumulates experiences, Honda Sensing Elite enhances its capabilities to recognize complex environments and handle those driving situations, such as traveling on non-expressways. Plans specific to the launch of the next generation of Honda Sensing Elite have yet to be announced.

First introduced in 2014 in the 2015 Honda CR-V (and 2015 Acura TLX), Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch™ have since expanded this advanced safety among the Honda and Acura lineups. Nearly 7 million vehicles in the U.S. currently have the benefit of Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch™ technologies.
