The power of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) continues to increase
alongside vehicle code and software complexity. To ensure ADAS functionality and
maximize safety, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction, original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) must adopt a solution that allows them to mine data,
extract meaningful information, send remote software updates and bug fixes, and
manage software complexity. All of this is possible with an embedded
telematics-based software and data management solution. Event-based logging
enables OEMs to actively measure ADAS effectiveness and performance. It allows
them to analyze driver behaviors, such as whether response times increase after
a certain time of day, and adjust the ADAS settings to increase functionality,
such as providing an earlier warning or automated response. A vertically
integrated solution also enables the identification and correction of software
and calibration defects for the entire vehicle life cycle through over-the-air
(OTA) software update packages. This eliminates the need for costly and
time-consuming dealer visits and allows troubleshooting, updates, repairs, and
recalibration to be performed remotely. There are industry-wide benefits of deep
connectivity as well, such as the sharing of critical and safety-related data to
make functional enhancements and use in the creation of a real-world safety
rating system instead of one based on lab data and general speculation.
Connected services are essential for not only the future of ADAS but also for
the creation of a safer driving environment for all.
In this paper we will:
Look at emerging trends in ADAS vehicle systems
Show how connected vehicle data can measure real-world ADAS
performance, including false positives and false negatives
Show how connected vehicle data can be used to understand driver
behaviors including usage patterns and feedback responsiveness
Show how systems can be maintained and enhanced throughout the
product life cycle in a cost-effective manner
