Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) consist of automotive electronic monitoring and control devices that help the driver avoid collisions. These platforms use multiple sensors to detect nearby vehicles and provide information such as distance, direction, and speed that allows the driver to adjust to potentially dangerous situations. Newer systems also typically implement automatic corrective action without the driver’s participation.
Most of the latest vehicles include ADAS as a standard feature, but their capabilities vary. Regulatory agencies continue to require ever more sophisticated capabilities to further reduce collisions.
