Like conventional Cruise Control, with the addition of a radar that tracks the vehicles on the road ahead so the system can keep a pre-determined distance from them. Some of these systems can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then start driving again once the road ahead is clear. Known as ‘Stop & Go’ or ‘Queue Assist’.

This system alerts you when it detects another vehicle in your blind spot. It can help prevent collisions when changing lanes. Usually, a warning in the shape of an orange light is illuminated in the side mirrors to warn it is unsafe to change lanes. 

A camera scans the road ahead for traffic signs and uses character recognition software to interpret these signs. This information is then fed into the vehicle’s instrument panel and used for various safety features such as updating speed displays, controlling vehicle speeds, and sounding speed alerts. This system helps drivers avoid exceeding the speed limit.

This system uses data from different parts of the vehicle. For example, steering, lane discipline and speed, to determine whether a driver’s reactions suggest signs of tiredness. 
Often an alert will sound with a visual indicator on the dashboard advising you to take a break. 

Just like reversing cameras, however,are installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle. They normally use wide-angle lenses which give a good view of traffic before pulling out at junctions. This feature is also very useful when driving out of parking spaces and areas with limited views. 

Mandatory on all vehicles manufactured after 2012. ESC helps maintain control when it detects the possibility of the vehicle skidding. It adjusts the steering and applies the brakes selectively on separate wheels to stabilise the vehicle.

The driver is alerted when a hazard is detected ahead of the vehicle. However, FCW doesn’t automatically brake and stop the vehicle for you. The driver will need to apply the brakes manually. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) is a similar system that applies the brakes for you.

Generally, using forward-facing cameras mounted on the windscreen, this system reads the lane markings on the road ahead. It provides a warning when you are about to cross into another lane. When the driver uses an indicator before changing lanes, the system does not provide an alert.

In addition to LDW systems, this provides steering correction to keep the vehicle between lane markings. LKAS is activated when the system detects unintentional movement into another lane. It has override features which cancel the lane correction by using a signal or steering against the automatic correction. 

The human eye’s visibility is naturally reduced in the dark. This system operates using infrared sensors. They detect heat contrasts, enabling the vehicle to detect hazards further away than you could see with your naked eye. Some systems even monitor the shapes of the heat contrasts and can detect pedestrians and animals that may pose a hazard on the road ahead. They alert the driver, so the appropriate action can be taken in good time. 

These come in many different forms. The most common are parking sensors in the bumpers. They sound an alert that often gets louder as the vehicle gets closer to an obstruction. Some systems can even park the vehicle for you by controlling the steering wheel. 

Also called “Around view monitoring” is an ADAS feature that provides the driver with a 360-degree view surrounding the vehicle. This system using a range of cameras around the vehicle.
