Driving assistance systems also need a signs to communicate to the driver both their activation or deactivation and a possible malfunction
The Adas, abbreviation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are technologies designed to support the driver and reduce the risk of human error, one of the main causes of road accidents, such as distraction at the wheel. These electronic systems have known a very rapid development, driven by the growing demand for safety and the evolution of the automotive market. Although technologies are developing at high speed and the cars we are used to are more and more a distant memory, there is an element that still unites the past to the future: spiesthe method of vehicle-guiding communication still considered among the most efficient and intuitive. Here is a list of the most common driving assistance systems in today’s cars, with the related spies that represent its activation, deactivation or malfunction. For most of them, the symbol is always the same: if it is activated it lights up with a green color, if it is deactivated or has the purpose of reporting a danger, it is highlighted with a yellow/orange color. Finally, if it flashes or remains fixed in an abnormal way it could indicate a fault.
