ADAS Functions:(need in boxes name and it should be rotating)

ABS - Anti-lock Braking Systems

Keep the car from skidding and turning when emergency braking is applied.

ESC - Electronic Stability Control

Assists the driver in avoiding under or over-steering, especially during unexpected driving conditions.

Back-up Camera

Provides the driver a clear and convenient view behind the car when in parking or reverse, ensuring safety and ease of maneuvering.

Blind Spot Detection

Warns the driver that there is a vehicle in their blind spot.

Parking Assistance

Warns the driver when their front or rear bumpers are approaching an object at low speeds, i.e., when maneuvering into a parking space.

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatically brakes as required to avoid hitting a vehicle ahead or another object, including pedestrians, animals, or anything in the lane of travel.

Emergency Steering

Steers the car to avoid striking an object in the lane of travel.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Adjusting cruise control speed to match vehicles ahead.

Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Centering

Steering the car to stay centered in the lane. Alerts the driver if the vehicle is not keeping within its lane.

Traffic Sign Recognition

System takes into account the sign’s shape, such as hexagon and rectangles, and the color to classify what sign is communicating to the driver.

Driver Monitoring

Systems use infrared sensors and cameras to monitor the driver’s attentiveness through eye-tracking. If the vehicle detects a possible obstacle, it will notify the driver and if no action is taken, the vehicle may react to the obstacle.

Pedestrian Protection Systems

Designed to minimize the number of accidents or injuries that occur between a vehicle and a pedestrian. This system uses cameras and sensors to determine when the front of a vehicle strikes a pedestrian. When the collision occurs, the vehicle’s bonnet lifts to provide a cushion between the vehicle’s hard engine components and the pedestrian. This helps minimize the possibility of a severe head injury when the pedestrian’s head comes into contact with the vehicle.

Rain Sensors

Detect water and automatically trigger electrical actions, such as the raising of open windows and the closing of open convertible tops. A rain sensor can also take in the frequency of rain droplets to automatically trigger windshield wipers with an accurate speed for the corresponding rainfall.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) hold the key to transforming our vehicles and transportation systems, promising heightened safety, unparalleled comfort, and enhanced effectiveness. As we delve deeper into the world of ADAS, we encounter the realisation that more systems, and increasingly advanced ones, bring about heightened weight, complexity, and seize – not just at the system level, but also within the broader vehicle architecture.

In response to these evolving challenges, semiconductor companies are taking the lead in pioneering innovative components. Their technological prowess is now more critical than ever in shaping the future of vehicle autonomy. Join us on this journey of automotive evolution, where ADAS systems pave the way for a safer, more comfortable, and highly effective transportation landscape.
