Audi has been working on self-driving vehicles so I can imagine that some time throughout the production cycle of the Q3 that we'll get some trickled down version of that tech with maybe a self-driving Q3 for next generation.
The Audi Q3 could still improve though. It did not get the highest award from the IIHS, the Top Safety Pick+ Award. To get that award a vehicle must have an optional front-crash prevention system. It's a little sad that the Q3 doesn't come with that option since many down market vehicles (like the Scion iA for example) come with a front-crash prevention system."The Q3's structure held up well in the small overlap test, with maximum intrusion of 4 inches at the lower door-hinge pillar," the IIHS said in a statement. "The driver dummy's movement was well-controlled. Measures taken from the dummy indicated a low risk of injury in a crash of this severity."
