The global market for advanced driver assistance systems has grown substantially in recent years, as vehicle companies have increased the safety content of their vehicles in response to market and legislative pressures. In essence ADAS features focus on increasing the automatic or autonomous control of the car's behaviour, independently of the driver, and/or providing the driver with increased information on road conditions to improve his/her driving performance.
