An automatic lane change activation system includes a host vehicle including an in-vehicle computer. A telematics module communicates global positioning system (GPS) data between the computer and the telematics module. A host vehicle display device receives signals from the computer. A visual system status is presented to a host vehicle user by the display device including an information screen presenting a roadway information message, a control screen presenting an opportunity message identifying to the user an opportunity to switch the host vehicle from a first roadway lane into a second roadway lane, and a lane change directional arrow to indicate a path for the host vehicle to take. A motion control module in the host vehicle receives control signals from the computer including a lane change execution signal to initiate and control vehicle automatic lane changes in a non-congested area of a roadway for the host vehicle.
