Land Rover has introduced a range of driving assistance technologies to the 2017 Range Rover, along with a new supercharged V6 engine and a new SVAutobiography Dynamic variant to the lineup.

The Advanced Tow Assist makes it debut on the Range Rover that promises to take the stress out of reversing a trailer.

Using the vehicle’s existing Surround Camera System, the clever technology enables drivers to guide a trailer into position by following the trajectory lines overlaid on an image from the rear-facing camera displayed on the central touchscreen. Advanced Tow Assist is able to automatically steer the vehicle to follow the path selected by the driver using the Terrain Response 2 rotary controller.

A Driver Condition Monitor further protect against driver fatigue.
