After a troubling increase of 7.2% in road deaths in 2015, reported by the NHTSA in August 2016, the importance of technology in making roads safer became even more apparent. This was the biggest jump in road deaths in almost 50 years, with 35,092 people losing their lives. Since human mistakes were a factor in 94% of these accidents, the need for better technology to prevent them became very clear.

ADAS Basics

Enter Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) – not merely an enhancement but a cornerstone of modern vehicular safety, engineered to save lives. ADAS features a blend of technologies designed to enhance vehicle safety and driver convenience. These systems use a network of sensors and cameras, which work seamlessly with safety features that cars have been equipped with for decades. The integration of these systems provides a wide range of functions, from basic alerts to complex automated responses, aimed at preventing accidents and protecting passengers.
