Advance driver assistance systems (ADAS) are not just growing in complexity but are becoming one of the most in demand technology in the automotive market. Consumers, while still weary of autonomous driving, have fully embraced a vehicle’s ability to help when it comes to keeping them safe.
That includes technology like:
- Blind spot monitoring
- Automatic emergency braking
- Adaptive headlights
- Driver drowsiness detection
- Obstacle avoidance
- Highway lane keeping
- Lane centering
- Autonomous parking
Chinese tech giant Huawei, which may be famous for providing networking equipment, has been bolstering its automotive offerings to appeal to domestic Chinese vendors’ automotive plans as it is the largest global car market.
The MDC Pro 610 ADAS controller performs fusion, identification and classification tasks as well as handling map positioning for path planning and driving decision-making, enabling precise control of the vehicle and autonomous driving.
