**Modern Cars Embrace Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Enhanced Safety and Comfort**
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are revolutionising the automotive industry, integrating electronic technologies into modern vehicles to improve safety, driving comfort, and reduce accidents. These systems, which use inputs from multiple sensors such as cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, and AI-powered processors, interpret the surroundings and either warn drivers or take corrective actions automatically [1][4][5].
The primary goal of ADAS is to automate, adapt, and enhance vehicle systems for better safety and smoother driving experiences by reducing human error and improving situational awareness [1][2][5]. Advanced versions of ADAS leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to process complex environments in real-time, making these technologies more responsive and reliable in diverse road scenarios [3].
ADAS can be categorised into three main areas: safety, parking, and driving. **Safety Systems** such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Blind-Spot Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warn drivers of lane drifting, automatically apply brakes to avoid collisions, monitor blind spots, maintain safe distance and speed, and improve vehicle stability and braking control [1][2][3][4].
**Parking Systems** like Parking Assistance and Ultrasonic Parking Sensors use sensors to detect obstacles while parking, assisting drivers in maneuvering into parking spots safely [2]. **Driving Comfort Systems** such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist provide a smooth driving experience by automatically adjusting speed and steering to stay within lanes and traffic flow [1][2][4][5].
Modern cars with ADAS feature an array of cameras around the vehicle, providing a live feed to the infotainment screen. Additional cameras can be placed around the vehicle to aid parking, while more units can be placed in bumpers to provide more information. Parking ADAS technology can stitch images together to provide a 360-degree birds-eye view of the car, helping avoid obstacles and pedestrians.
Autonomous technology allows vehicles to park themselves using park assist features. For instance, adaptive cruise control is a well-known driving ADAS system that helps control the speed of the vehicle, maintaining a certain distance from the car in front. Lane-change assist is another driving ADAS system that helps the vehicle switch lanes when the indicator is applied.
ADAS requires regular calibration to maintain accuracy since the sensors and cameras must be precisely aligned to interpret road conditions correctly. Calibration can be static or dynamic depending on the vehicle and system design [4]. These systems are incorporated due to a combination of market demand, regulations, and a focus on safety and efficiency.
ADAS technology is expected to be featured in 90% of all vehicles sold worldwide by 2030, according to ADAS developer Valeo. In the year 2025, a significant number of cars on sale feature advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Safety systems use advanced detection sensors and early warnings to alert drivers when action is needed, making roads safer for everyone.
