Abstract

Driver Assistance Systems (DAS) are additional electronic systems in vehicles to support the driver in specific driving situations. They may aim at increasing safety, higher comfort, less fuel (or resource) consumption or informing the driver about the current traffic condition, the traffic situation or the route. These systems may be informative, semi-autonomous or autonomous. They may intervene in vehicle propulsion, actuation or vehicle control or may simply provide useful additional information.
