When it comes to ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), the first things that likely come to mind lor most technicians and consumers are radar cruise control and lane watch. But ADAS is much more than that. As the name indicates, it is a system. These systems are made up of subsystems of individual components, and not every vehicle is configured the same. Rather than getting overwhelmed with the ins and outs of ADAS, we can visit it one component at a time. Hopefully, I can dispel some of the myths that keep a lot of us at bay. ADAS is a series of subsystems that work together to ensure the driver and occupants of the vehicle, as well as the other vehicles and pedestrians nearby, can operate safely together on our network of roads and highways. ADAS' implementation led to far fewer accident-related injuries and far more lives spared. Its safety is from the combination of the onboard ECUs' (electronic control units) processing power, as well as the speed (or baud rate) of the networks in which the data is shared that allows the reaction time (to a potential safety issue) to be far swifter than that of human beings. |
