Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are increasingly central to automotive innovation, offering features that make driving safer, more comfortable, and more intelligent.
While not fully autonomous, ADAS technologies are seen as stepping stones toward higher levels of driving automation.
These systems use sensors, software, and computing platforms to assist with a variety of driving tasks. Common features include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane departure warning
- Blind spot monitoring
- Parking assistance
- Traffic sign recognition
ADAS spans the lower tiers of the SAE automation scale, typically from:
- Level 1: Driver assistance (for example, cruise control with lane centering)
- Level 2: Partial automation (steering and acceleration/deceleration handled, but driver supervision required)
- Level 3: Conditional automation (in specific conditions, the system can drive, with the driver expected to resume control upon request)
While most vehicles today feature Level 1 or Level 2 systems, companies are racing to develop and commercialize Level 3 capabilities, especially in premium and electric vehicles.
