How does Audi's Traffic Jam Pilot system work in the A8?

I've heard that the Audi A8 has a Traffic Jam Pilot system, but I'm not sure how it works. Can someone explain it to me in simple terms?

The Audi A8's Traffic Jam Pilot system uses advanced sensors and cameras to monitor the road and other vehicles around you. It can automatically accelerate, brake, and steer in slow-moving traffic, keeping you safe and reducing stress.

As a current A8 owner, I can say that the Traffic Jam Pilot system works flawlessly. It takes a lot of the hassle out of stop-and-go traffic, and I always feel secure knowing that my car is constantly scanning for potential hazards.
