The features of ADAS, your driver assist system
ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are a family of safety systems that designed to work together to automate and enhance vehicle safety by alerting the driver to potential problems and avoid collisions. Some features of driver assist systems include: adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems, connecting smartphones for hands-free dialing, automatic braking, and incorporation of GPS/traffic data, etc.
What kinds of ADAS systems are there?
Some features now come standard in new vehicles and others are optional, however, most, if not all, of the systems within ADAS fall under these categories:
- Adaptive – systems that change/adapt based on input from the surrounding environment
- Automated – systems that take over and perform certain functions that a driver cannot do safely
- Monitoring – systems that use sensors, cameras, or other means to observe the surrounding area or driving of the vehicle and assesses whether a correction needs to be made
- Warning – systems that alert the driver to potential issues in their own driving or the driving of others that could increase the risk of injury to those in the vehicle
