The proliferation of sensors in today’s vehicles is fueling the rapid evolution of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). This evolution, in turn, is paving the path to piloted drive and fully autonomous vehicles.
At one time, ADAS systems were the domain of high-end luxury cars. But now, they are finding their way into mid-range and economy vehicles. Examples include:

Consumer demand for ADAS is high, and governments worldwide are passing laws to make such systems standard equipment in all vehicles. Yet automakers face several challenges, including high development costs, compliance with rigorous safety certifications, and integration of ADAS components from multiple suppliers.
Automakers need to implement these compute-intensive systems without driving up bill of materials costs. To achieve this goal, they are integrating multiple ADAS functions, previously implemented on discrete modules, onto a single platform that handles data from multiple sensor types. This "sensor fusion" combines the strengths of different sensing technologies to create a solution that is collectively better and more cost-effective than any single technology on its own.

ADAS Systems
ADAS systems require a software platform that provides inherent protection and isolation of safety-critical software components.
