I'm confused by all the terminology for the various driving assistance technologies

Hi y'all,

I'm trying to build out my G20, I don't think I need Drivers Assistance Pro, but instead just "Active Driving Assistant Pro" (why do they need to name them so !@#$ing close, and I think in the manual it's referred to as "Assisted Driving Plus"). I'm scouring the user manuals and my search-foo seems to suck, is there a place to read about these features in detail?

Seems like "Active Driving Assistant Pro", traffic jam assist is basically cruise-control with distance control/steering assist, but only under 40mph? Or does it only steer?

And if I want it for highway speeds, I need "Drivers Assistance Pro"?

Not 100% sure but I believe you need both for the driving assistant feature above and below 40 mph.
They do work well , kind of weird to get used to if you haven't used them before.

Driver Assistance pro can do semi-autonomous driving under 40mph on the highway. Above that, you will need to keep at least one hand on the wheel but the car will still auto steer for you.
