Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are a set of technologies and features designed to enhance vehicle safety and improve the driving experience. ADAS systems utilize various sensors, cameras, and advanced algorithms to provide assistance to drivers in different situations. These systems can help prevent accidents, mitigate the severity of collisions, and enhance overall situational awareness.

Here are some common examples of ADAS features:

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): This system maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. It automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to keep a safe following distance and can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA): LDW alerts the driver when the vehicle drifts out of its lane unintentionally. LKA takes it a step further by actively steering the vehicle back into the lane if the driver doesn't respond to the warning.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): FCW detects potential frontal collisions and alerts the driver to take action. AEB can automatically apply the brakes to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision.
• Blind Spot Detection (BSD): BSD uses sensors to detect vehicles in the blind spots and provides warnings to the driver, typically through visual indicators or audible alerts.
• Rearview Camera and Surround View: Rearview cameras help drivers see objects and pedestrians behind the vehicle while parking or reversing. Surround view systems provide a 360-degree view around the vehicle, aiding in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): TSR uses cameras or image processing to detect and interpret road signs, providing information such as speed limits, stop signs, and other regulatory signs to the driver.
• Parking Assistance: These systems use sensors and cameras to help drivers navigate and park in tight spaces. They can provide visual and/or audio cues to assist in parallel parking or perpendicular parking maneuvers.

ADAS technologies continue to evolve rapidly, and new features are being developed to further enhance vehicle safety and automation. However, it's important to note that ADAS systems are designed to assist drivers and not replace their attention and responsibility behind the wheel.

AI Technical Trustability Update

While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.
