Førerassistancesystemer

Førerassistancesystemer, commonly referred to as ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), are electronic systems designed to assist drivers in the driving and parking process by improving overall safety and, in some instances, comfort. These systems use sensors, cameras, radar, and other technologies to detect surroundings and potential hazards, then provide information to the driver or intervene directly in vehicle control.

Examples of common ADAS include adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead; lane keeping assist, which helps the vehicle stay within its lane by providing steering input; automatic emergency braking, which applies the brakes to avoid or mitigate a collision; and blind-spot monitoring, which alerts the driver to vehicles in their blind spots. Parking assistance systems, such as parking sensors and rearview cameras, are also considered ADAS.

The primary goal of ADAS is to reduce accidents and improve road safety. By providing timely warnings and, in some cases, taking corrective actions, these systems can help prevent driver error, which is a major contributing factor to many road incidents. ADAS are increasingly becoming standard features in new vehicles and are a significant step towards the development of autonomous driving capabilities.
