For those who are unaware, there are two main types of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): radar and camera-based, and camera-only systems. The pricier radar and camera-based ADAS utilize radio frequency signals to detect and analyze surrounding objects. Emitting electromagnetic waves, it detects distance, speed, and relative movement by interpreting reflections. This proves especially effective in challenging weather conditions like rain or snow, where visibility is impaired.On the other hand, camera-based systems rely solely on visual input. Both ADAS variants offer driving assistance, but the radar and camera-based system excels in adverse weather.
