HOW DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS WORK

Assistance systems use, for example, sensors such as ultrasonic and radar ones and also camera systems to record a vehicle's surroundings and to compare the findings with vehicle data such as that denoting speed or acceleration. Depending on how they function, they inform or warn, intervene temporarily or perform a continuously automating function.

An increasing number of vehicles are equipped with more and more advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Assistance systems stopped being exclusive to premium and luxury class vehicles a long time ago. Even small cars can now be ordered with numerous driver assistance systems.

And, in Europe, many assistance systems will even be mandatory for newly developed vehicles from 2022 onwards. These include Intelligent Speed Assist, Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and a warning system to detect drowsiness and loss of attention. From 2024, all new cars must then be equipped with additional systems.

R C Motors have the equipment and expertise required to service and re-calibrate these complex systems.
