Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, are systems to help the driver in the driving process. When designed with a safe Human-Machine Interface it should increase car safety and more generally road safety. Examples of such a system are:
- In-vehicle navigation system with typically GPS and TMC for providing up-to-date traffic information.
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
- Lane departure warning system
- Lane change assistance
- Collision avoidance system (Precrash system)
- Intelligent speed adaptation or intelligent speed advice (ISA)
- Night Vision
- Adaptive light control
- Pedestrian protection system
- Automatic parking
- Traffic sign recognition
- Blind spot detection
- Driver drowsiness detection
- Vehicular communication systems
- Hill descent control
- Electric vehicle warning sounds used in hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles

“America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts.”

“God help the horse, and the driver too!
And the people and beasts who have never a friend!
For the driver easily might have been you,
And the horse be me by a different end!
And nobody knows how their days will cease!
And the poor, when they’re old, have little of peace!”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
“Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you.... Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
