VI. CONCLUSION
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are
important to the development of driverless cars. ADAS
systems combine sensors, processors, decision-making
algorithms, and control systems to aid drivers and enhance
safety, efficiency, comfort, and dependability on real time
road environment. The different metrics and
characteristics, such as safety, efficiency, comfort,
dependability, and user satisfaction, may be used to assess
the success of ADAS systems. There is still potential for
development in areas like as human interaction and real-
world testing, despite the fact that ADAS systems have
demonstrated encouraging results in enhancing driving
safety and efficiency. In addition, the shift to fully
driverless cars requires the development of increasingly
sophisticated and integrated ADAS systems. The future of
ADAS systems in autonomous cars is bright, and further
research and development will be essential to expanding
this technology and enhancing the driving experience for
everyone.
