The MG ONE also keeps safety in mind as it’s equipped with a whole array of advanced driver assistance features. The chief safety feature is the MG Pilot, a driver assistance system that’s able to intelligently control the car’s various features to avoid accidents and collisions. Its functions include Adaptive Cruise Control, Intelligent High-beam Control, Traffic Jam Assistance, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Door Opening Warning.
On top of that, the car is equipped with a 360-degree camera that provides more control and protection.
