How does it work? This technology consists of the identification of limits or edges where the vehicle travels on the road, and constantly returns the vehicle to within these limits if the system is active. These markings on the road…
How does it work? Lane departure warning (LDW) systems are those that provide alerts whenever a driver appears (i.e., a turn signal is not activated) to deviate too close to the edges of the lane or partially crosses the lane…
How does it work? Forward collision mitigation (FCM) systems detect the distance and speed at which a vehicle is travelling forward toward a vehicle ahead and apply brakes if the driver does not respond on their own. These systems respond…
How does it work? It is a collision warning system, in the event that the vehicle driven is too close to colliding with a parked or moving vehicle ahead. This is done using a sensor that is mounted on the…
How does it work? This technology uses sensors at points least accessible to the driver in order to detect potential hazards, for example vehicles in adjacent lanes that the driver cannot observe directly due to the blind spot. Normally, monitoring…
How does it work? Adaptive headlights have a system or mechanism that allows them to adjust their direction and intensity in response to the driver’s direction, to better track curves, turns, hills or focus potential hazards on the road. Most…
How does it work? This terminology refers to a group of technologies that relate to the use of cameras, sensors and other devices such as assistance for driving, parking or other driving needs. Rear backup cameras, cornering speed warning, drowsiness…
How does it work? Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) uses distance-sensing technology that automatically reduces or accelerates the speed of the vehicle to maintain a constant distance between two vehicles. ACC systems are an extension of conventional cruise control (CCC) systems…
