Malfunctions with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Many automobiles now include advanced computer systems to assist drivers with safety. These advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, work to improve driver safety and performance through collecting and analyzing information with a computer. However, like other onboard computers, these assistance systems may fail at some point during operation, possibly harming the driver and passengers.
If a computer failure has led to your auto accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your pain and suffering. To discuss your options further with an experienced legal advisor, contact the Wausau auto defect lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. by calling 800-242-2874 today.
Hazards of ADAS Failure
If an ADAS computer fails either due to a hardware malfunction or a software issue, the vehicle may lose that assistance feature. As a result, a person may not have the use of an important safety device. If even one of the following ADAS devices fails, it can have a serious impact on driver safety:
- Blind spot cameras and detectors
- Slope descent control assistance
- Drowsy driving warnings
- Adaptive speed controls
- Crash avoidance warnings
- Improved night vision systems
While advanced driver assistance systems are typically considered bonus or add-on safety features, any flaws with these items can still directly impact a driver’s safety.
