How to use driver assist features safely
Assisted driving features are on the rise, but these technologies can't drive for you. Consider our tips for using this technology.
More automotive companies are introducing advanced 驾驶员辅助系统 (ADAS) to help you drive carefully on the road. But it's still important to stay cautious behind the wheel. Learn how to keep being a smart driver with this smart technology.
什么是驾驶辅助?
汽车制造商有各种各样的 驾驶员辅助系统 提供. 其中包括:
- 车道偏离检测: Alerts the driver when the 车辆 approaches or crosses a lane.
- 防抱死制动系统: 防止 刹车 from locking up allowing the driver to continue to steer the 车辆.
- 盲点检测: Alerts the driver of 车辆s that are in their blind spot.
- 自适应巡航控制: Adjusts the car’s speed to maintain a safe distance behind the 车辆 that is in front of them.
- 自适应头灯: Headlights that will pivot in the direction you’re traveling.
- 相机: 回来up and side cameras can help detect items not easily seen by the driver.
- 自动紧急制动: Applies 刹车 automatically when a forward motion crash is imminent.
- 睡意检测: When the 车辆 senses the driver needs a break, an indication is sent.
- 全球定位系统(GPS): Detects the location of the 车辆 based on signals from satellites.
安全使用驾驶辅助技术
No matter how high-tech your car is, it's important that you:
- 注意. 具有更多自动化功能, drivers may more easily be distracted by electronics or passengers and more. 避免 这些常见的驾驶干扰 在路上保持安全.
- 提供大脑. 汽车mated systems are helpful — but they're not human. Drivers still need to be able to respond quickly in road situations.
- 重温基础知识. 当司机开始依赖汽车的功能, 他们可能经常忘记检查镜子, look in blind spots when changing lanes and other basic driving skills. Get back in the habit, regardless of whether your car is helping.
驾驶辅助功能不足的地方
安全 sensors may not respond ideally to all real-life situations. 例如:
- 车道偏离传感器 signal if you've drifted into another lane, 但它们可能认不出冰天雪地, faded lane markers or sharp curves in the road.
- 自适应巡航控制 will increase or decrease your 车辆's speed based on the pace of traffic ahead, but it may not respond as quickly if another car suddenly cuts over into your lane.
- 带有传感器的摄像机 can detect objects in your car's path — like small animals or pedestrians — but drivers may begin to rely on the sensors alone and be less inclined to check their surroundings.
