NEW YORK—Automakers and suppliers are investing heavily in next-generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including active safety, 360-degree perception, and redundancy in perception, processing and software.

According to ABI Research, 69 percent of all new passenger vehicles will have an SAE driving automation level of 2+ or higher by the end of this decade. The technology will enable people to drive more safely, take on specific tasks on the driver’s behalf or ultimately replace drivers through the automation of the entire driving process.
