Driver-Assist Sensors

Driver-assist sensors help cars notice lanes, nearby vehicles, signs, and obstacles.

How It Works

Driver-assist systems may use cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors, and lidar. They can warn about blind spots, help keep a lane, or brake in an emergency.

Why It Matters

These systems help drivers, but they do not make every car fully self-driving. Drivers still need to watch the road and follow traffic laws.
