Lane change assist

When Pilot Assist is active, Polestar 3 can also change lanes automatically. Moving the indicator stalk fully up or down initiates the manoeuvre, and the car will only proceed if the system's sensors indicate it's safe.

360º camera with 3D view

The onboard software can use the front- and rear-view cameras, as well as both door mirror cameras, to create a bird's-eye or 3D view of the car on the centre display. It helps the driver to notice obstacles close to Polestar 3 and manoeuvre in tight spaces.

Pilot pack with LiDAR²

This upgrade adds three extra high-resolution cameras and Luminar's advanced LiDAR² system to the Pilot pack. It can create a 3D understanding of the car's surroundings, further advancing the driver assistance capabilities of Polestar 3.
