A method for assisting drivers with roadway lane changes includes determining if a vehicle 401 can travel more efficiently, or possibly faster reducing journey time, in other lanes based on speed and acceleration of vehicles 422-428. Input is received, which may be a driver 432 activating a turn signal, selecting another lane to travel and a speed is calculated for the vehicle to maintain which is based on the speed and acceleration of vehicles in that lane which may be determined using LIDAR or V2X communications. When it is appropriate for the vehicle to change lane an indication is made which may be on a HUD of an AR system highlighting a position 441 for the vehicle to move in to.
