Bringing the Benefits of ADAS to More Vehicles
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) matter. Over 1.3 million people are killed in road traffic accidents globally every year and research suggests that human error is a major contributing factor. ADAS capabilities, such as automatic emergency braking, lane and highway assistance, and driver monitoring, help make our roads safer and save lives.
Arm and our world-leading ecosystem of partners work with automotive OEMs to bring advanced safety and driver assistance technologies to more vehicles, by providing cost-sensitive, high-performance image processing and software-defined heterogeneous compute for future-proofed ADAS designs.
The Evolution of ADAS Systems

Increasing global demand for enhanced driver safety, comfort, and convenience is transforming ADAS systems. Understanding this evolution can provide valuable insight into how technology requirements are changing, helping to inform key business decisions and approaches.
This report authored by Strategy Analytics delves into the crucial factors steering current ADAS capabilities and the trends and potential opportunities for future ADAS development.
The Growth of Software-Defined Functionality

The rise of electrification, ADAS technologies, and the associated digitization of the car have catapulted the possibilities for software-defined vehicles (SDV). Learn more about the new design paradigms driving the SDV concept and the challenges the industry faces to make this a reality.
