At the end of 2021, Dan Loop, vice-president and general manager of Automotive Edge Processing at NXP Semiconductors, wrote an article in All About Circuits entitled, Understanding ADAS Limitations and V2X Communication Technology.
He claims that ADAS in general increase road safety for the driver. However, he finds that they are mostly isolated from their surroundings. Quite of this is because they don’t communicate with other vehicles, roadways or with other kinds of smart city infrastructure. He adds: “Overall, the main limitations of driver-assistance systems are their cost and limited availability beyond higher-end models. ADAS is costly, and so entry-level vehicles don’t tend to have it to ensure because carmakers have an eye on remaining competitive. Yet there is a need for ADAS to proliferate because ADAS and indeed V2X communication work better when there are more participants. The challenge for OEMs is to therefore develop and offer more cost-effective ADAS to the lower end of the market “to increase the safety and comfort of all road users.”
