Confusing ADAS feature names: Proposal to unify terms across all brands

The names used to describe the features currently vary across the industry, which creates confusion for consumers.

AAA along with Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, National Safety Council, PAVE, and SAE International released a set of expanded and updated recommendations for universal terms for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features.

  • Collision intervention
  • Driving control assistance
  • Parking assistance
  • Driver monitoring
  • Other driver assistance systems
  • Driver monitoring

Recommendation details for each of the above categories are as follows:
