There’s a significant trust gap developing between drivers and the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) fitted to their cars, with widespread confusion about the capabilities and limitations of the increasingly prevalent tech.

 

The lack of understanding among drivers is eroding public confidence in ADAS, and creating safety concerns, according to mobility experts at DG Cities. They’ve carried out a survey that reveals 40 per cent of drivers aren’t getting sufficient information about assistance systems when purchasing their cars, and say their subsequent investigation found sales staff at dealerships not only lacked knowledge, but in some cases were also guilty of exaggerating the capabilities of the features.
