driver assistance
An advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) is any of a groups of electronic technologies that assist drivers in driving and parking functions. Through a safe human-machine interface, ADAS increase car and road safety. ADAS uses automated technology, such as sensors and cameras, to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors, and respond accordingly. ADAS can enable various levels of autonomous driving, depending on the features installed in the car.
As most road crashes occur due to human error, ADAS are developed to automate, adapt, and enhance vehicle technology for safety and better driving. ADAS are proven to reduce road fatalities by minimizing human error. Safety features are designed to avoid crashes and collisions by offering technologies that alert the driver to problems, implementing safeguards, and taking control of the vehicle if necessary. Adaptive features may automate lighting, provide adaptive cruise control, assist in avoiding collisions, incorporate satellite navigation and traffic warnings, alert drivers to possible obstacles, assist in lane departure and lane centering, provide navigational assistance through smartphones, and provide other features.According to a 2021 research report from Canalys, approximately 33 percent of new vehicles sold in the United States, Europe, Japan, and China had ADAS features. The firm also predicted that fifty percent of all automobiles on the road by the year 2030 would be ADAS-enabled.
Me and my wife recently took a trip/holiday to Scotland in my ZS Hybrid +.
The trip started from Stourbridge West Midlands to Cockermouth, Carlisle, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Inverness, Carlisle again, Liverpool and finally back to Stourbridge.
We did the trip over 5 days, covered 1034...
Hi all,
How do I know if the anti collision is working correctly ?
I try driving up to the rear of the cars infront, without actually hitting them and if I don't slam on the brakes I would go into them, but the car doesn't do anything.
How does it actually work ?
Hi newbie im struggling to figure out how to put car into cruise control on motorway. Ive looked at Youtube vids read manual still perplexed. My previous motor simply drive at speed you want press button and it kept you at that speed till you pressed brake. MG4 unsure how to do? Any help appreciated
Can anyone help me understand the displayed icons with TJA activated? Top left I see speedo/car/wheel icons greyed out. If I press up or down button speed displayed in green and ACC activated. The wheel icon goes white and green and back to greyed out whilst driving. What is triggering the...
I am beginning to hate this car because I find the manual impossible to follow and think it's too clever for its own good - manual switches are so much more intuitive than touch screen. Rant over. My problem is that 2 yellow signs were illuminated and I had no idea what they meant. I eventually...
The auto dipping headlights on my 4 week old S5 are terrible, often blinding oncoming vehicles, sometimes not auto dipping at all, needing to manual dip, feels so sluggish as though they've been on the beer and forget to work.
Has anyone else noticed this sluggish nature on auto dip?
I doubt...
I had a new experience yesterday. I was driving along a main road when a pushbike pulled out reasonably quickly from a side road and eased into the traffic flow in front of me. Although he didn't pull directly in front of me, the car detected him coming in from the side (about 10m in front) and...
I have a Jan '24 ZS EV Trophy Connect SR (bought July '24 as ex-demo).
I'm thinking of trading it in for a MGS5 Trophy LR.
The ZSEV is a car that I constantly have to think, "Well, it was cheap" to stop me getting annoyed. The entertainment software was clearly written by an 18yo intern who has...
I was driving into low sun when a warning briefly came up that Forward Collision Warning and Active Braking were unavailable.
Just when they are most needed!
I'm surprised that they are wholly visual spectrum and don't also use radar.
I took delivery of my MGS5 on Monday. Today is the first chance I've had to look at the settings. I've taken a couple of photos to show what's on my screen.
I thought I'd turned off the audible warning for speed limits but Nagging Nora still tells me off. Before anyone lectures me, she's wrong...
What is the Radar Parking selection for, when do you use it and how does it operate.
When I select it I get a continuous alarm sound if there is a car or obstacle near me.
When do you use the radar parking via the tab on the screen? What does it do.
The speed recognition on my mg4 se has been pretty much faultless since I bought it in March. Now it seems to think all signs are 30mph. This isn't a "side road" issue as it used to be accurate on the same stretches of road.
Any idea what could be wrong?
In the 9months that I have had the car there have been 3 instances where the car slammed the braks on its own initiative.
The two instances were totally uncalled for: the car moved from light to shade, cast on the road, during a very bright (Greek) day. The high contrast black shade was...
I'm usually a bit dismissive of all the gadgets, but RCTB deffo prevented serious embarrassment or even injury this afternoon.
I was reversing out of bay parking into the car park when a pedestrian, who had been hugging the back of the van next to me and therefore was out of sight, walked...
I see a lot of driving a regular route in my future - it's about 100 miles of entirely motorway, but very congested - stop/start traffic, heavy lorries, etc. It can take 2 hours to drive on a good day and 4 hours on a bad day, and that 4 hours is quite stressful. I'm pondering switching my...
Hi everyone, newbie in MG Zs ev and would appreciate some help. Few weeks ago on my way from work, suddenly my Mg zs ev my21, displayed several faults,mostly with driver assistance packages (ACC, Hill Asst,Brake asst, forward collusion warning, e.t.c) not available. I called MG dealer and I...
Hi
I have just swapped my Nissan Leaf for an MG4. Very similar price point, similar specs. I think I was expecting similar but slightly better from the MG4.
I hate it! And I'm stuck with it now.
Firstly, it slammed the brakes on for me thinking I was going to have a collision with a car that...
On our first drive in Germany, we were impressed with the Seal aside from one caveat – the overly intrusive driver assistance features. But BYD has worked hard to dial these features back in UK cars; they’re still there to help prevent collisions, but the vicious lane keep assist and irritating...
A lot of people are asking, can you turn off the Lane Assist,
As far as I know if you have a accident and the LA is turned off your insurance company may use it as an excuse not to pay up.
I think on the MG4 you can reduce the sensitivity.
