🛈 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) :
Forward Collision Warning (FCW ): Warns the driver if a potential front-end collision is detected. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) : Automatically applies the brakes to avoid or mitigate a collision if the driver fails to respond to the warning. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) : Alerts the driver if the vehicle drifts out of its lane without using a turn signal. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) : Automatically steers the vehicle back into its lane if it detects unintentional drifting. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) : Alerts the driver if there is a vehicle in the blind spot. Rearview Cameras and Sensors : Assist the driver in reversing and parking by providing a view of the area behind the vehicle. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) : This system maintains a set speed while automatically adjusting the distance to the vehicle ahead. It can slow down or accelerate the car to maintain a safe following distance. Automatic High Beams (AHB) : Automatically switches between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic and road conditions, improving visibility without dazzling other drivers. Pedestrian Detection : Utilizes sensors and cameras to detect pedestrians or cyclists near the vehicle and can issue warnings or automatically apply the brakes to avoid collisions. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) : Monitors the vehicle's stability and intervenes by applying brakes to individual wheels or adjusting engine power to help maintain control during skidding or loss of control situations. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) : Prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) : Monitors the tire pressure and alerts the driver if any tire is significantly underinflated, helping to prevent tire failures and improve fuel efficiency. Advanced Airbag Systems : Modern vehicles typically come equipped with multiple airbags, including front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, and knee airbags. These airbags deploy in the event of a collision to help reduce the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants. Structural Design and Crash Test Ratings : Car manufacturers incorporate advanced materials and structural designs to improve crashworthiness and occupant protection. Vehicles undergo rigorous crash tests to evaluate their safety performance and receive safety ratings, such as those conducted by organizations like Euro NCAP, NHTSA, or IIHS.
