Every year in the U.S. more than six million car crashes occur. Three million people are injured in a collision. An average of 38,000 people die.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are helping reduce these numbers, saving lives by equipping vehicles with advanced safety features. The integration of ADAS systems is estimated to prevent 40 percent of all passenger-vehicle crashes, 37 percent of resulting injuries, and 29 percent of related deaths. These systems are making the world a safer place to drive. What is ADAS, exactly? And how does it drive these results?
In this article, we will define ADAS’ meaning, explain how the technology started, and provide a rundown of automotive ADAS systems and sensors. Read on to discover everything you need to know about ADAS and the future of safe driving.
