Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
ADAS
• ESC is an established life saver
• Other ADAS systems show potential
• ESC saves lives; an ESC equipped vehicle is 25%
less likely to be involved in a serious or fatal
crash in the UK
Autonomous Emergency Braking
AEB
• Forward looking sensors (RADAR, LIDAR, Camera)
• System detects an imminent collision
• Some systems issue driver warnings (acoustic, visual, haptic)
• Automatic application of the brakes if driver is unresponsive or distracted
