No one can be truly certain what the future will hold but we can certainly make some highly educated guesses.

Work truck fleets look toward advanced vehicle technologies, including ADAS, to reduce accidents and associated costs. Check out what a few of our subject-matter experts had to say when looking toward the future of this newer technology.

• “Some say that ADAS technologies are paving the way for autonomous vehicles. The deployment of sensors to gather information about a vehicle’s immediate environment is a crucial first step for self-driving vehicles. Once ADAS technologies start to intervene actively, either by slowing down the vehicle with automated braking or helping the driver steer using lane-keep assistance, they begin to shift into the first stage of autonomous vehicle development. I think two additional areas of innovation to watch include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication.” – Gary Johnson, director of Risk and Compliance Management, Lytx
• “The introduction of new features combined with the maturity of existing features will result in a vehicle that edges closer to autonomous operation.” – Mark Chung, vice president, roadway practice, National Safety Council
• “There are a variety of studies that indicate many of the safety benefits originally tied to the self-driving vehicle have already been realized with the advancement of safety systems categorized as ‘ADAS.’ While delayed, there is still significant investment being made in realizing the ‘self-driving vehicle’ — which will require the continued evolution of ADAS features and components. I believe ADAS is forever part of the new driving experience.” – Ben Johnson, director of product management, Mitchell1
• “ADAS is here to stay and will continue to develop, support, and improve vehicle safety. Autonomous features and vehicles are the future.” – Isuzu Spokesperson
• “The capabilities of advanced driver-assistance systems are constantly improving. As they do, the line separating ADAS from full self-driving is rapidly blurring into a spectrum of capabilities.” – Mobileye spokesperson
