An Overview of the Safety Features in the 2024 Land Rover Discovery

Land Rover vehicles are known for their off-road capabilities, their comfort, their performance, and their elegance, but a detail that should not be swept under the rug is their impressive level of safety. In this article, we will take a closer look at the advanced safety and driver assistance technologies that can be found in the 2024 Land Rover Discovery, a seven-seater SUV made with family transportation duties in mind.

Forward collision warning and lane-keeping assist

Standard on the 2024 Land Rover Discovery, these two technologies have become a staple of active safety systems in the last few years because of their effectiveness at preventing or reducing the force of collisions. The forward collision warning system uses multiple sensors to determine if another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist is in the path of the Discovery and to apply the brakes autonomously if the driver doesn’t react in time to avoid a possible crash. The lane-keeping assist functions by monitoring road markings and the vehicle’s position within its lane to detect when it might be drifting out of it. In that case, warnings are issued to the driver and a corrective torque is applied to the steering system to help prevent the Discovery going off the road or into oncoming traffic.

Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert

Using sensors that look backward and to the sides, these two systems can help prevent two of the most frequent types of collisions: sideswipes and fender-benders. Indeed, the blind spot monitoring system indicates to the driver when a vehicle is present in their blind spot via a visual warning at first, and with an audible tone if they use the turn signal on the same side as the potential danger. The rear cross-traffic alert is useful when backing out of perpendicular parking spots where the driver might not see if vehicles are coming from the sides since this system is designed specifically to inform of the presence of cars or pedestrians behind the Discovery.

Traffic sign recognition with adaptive speed limiter

The 2024 Land Rover Discovery comes standard with the road sign recognition system which uses a camera to look for speed limits and “no overtaking” signs, which are then displayed in the instrument cluster for the driver to see at all times. In addition, the adaptive speed limiter can be combined with this system to avoid speeding by automatically matching the vehicle’s speed to the speed limit in effect at the time.

Driver monitoring

The 2024 Land Rover Discovery is also capable of preventing accidents caused by drowsiness by monitoring the driver’s inputs on the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and the accelerator to detect any sign of sleepiness. If this system determines the driver might be getting too tired to drive safely, it will issue suggestions to take a break before the risk of an incident becomes greater.

Wade sensing

Since the 2024 Land Rover Discovery is capable of doing things few other SUVs in its category can in terms of all-terrain driving, such as wading in depths up to 900 millimetres. Since crossing a stream or an unknown river might be dangerous, the available wade-sensing system uses sensors mounted on the side mirrors to determine the depth of the water surrounding the vehicle. This information is displayed on the center touchscreen to make it easier for the driver to plan the best path, without the risk of getting stuck in an area that is suddenly deeper than expected.
