If you are hearing about Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for the first time, they are electronic safety systems installed in vehicles to help with driving and parking. ADAS is a vital part of most modern vehicles' safety functions. Besides your safety as the driver, they enhance your passengers' safety and other people you are sharing the road with, including pedestrians.
ADAS Features
Any car leaving the factory today has at least two or three ADAS features.
They include:
• Rearview, front, and side cameras
• Computer imaging technology
• Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
• Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
• Autonomous braking system (ABS)
• Intelligent speed assist (ISA)
Functions of ADAS Systems
ADAS systems play four main functions in your car, they include:
Alerting you of any potential dangers on the road.
Monitoring things like the tire pressure and any blind spots.
