Rear AEB: The ADAS That’s Putting the Brakes on Backing Crashes
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) have proven to be valuable safety tools, potentially saving 20,000 lives every year. But when it comes to crash reduction, there’s one ADAS that really stands out: Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (Rear AEB). Recent research conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that Rear AEB, also called Reverse AEB…

Understanding ADAS: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
In 2017, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) challenged automakers to commit to the standardization of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) within their vehicles. Twenty manufacturers accepted the challenge, pledging to voluntarily equip virtually all new passenger vehicles with a low speed AEB ADAS system that includes Forward Collision Warning (FCW) by model year 2022.…

What is ADAS? Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Guide
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…

The Biggest Myth About Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Today’s vehicles are built with features that do more than make the general experience of driving safer, they can also help prevent a collision from happening altogether. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) like Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) detect risk as it arises and respond accordingly to reduce the chance of an…

What Is LiDAR And Its Role In ADAS?
Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are designed to improve safety and overall driving performance. To make this possible, they rely on a network of sensors that work together to evaluate the vehicle’s environment and respond in real time. Among these, automotive LiDAR sensors represent one of the most advanced and efficient technologies used in modern ADAS.…
