Moving from ADAS to HDAS – humanized driver assistance systems

ADAS and AV technologies have so far had limited success in areas with high numbers of vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists. The current approach is much too focused on the 'physics' of the situation (relative distances, velocities and accelerations of VRUs), which does not reflect the reality of interactions and negotiations between vehicles and VRUs. Developing ADAS and AV technologies focused on the behavior of VRUs, on top of their physics, is key for the widespread adoption of ADAS. This presentation will outline the performance and user benefits of a humanized driver assistance system (HDAS).
