Driver assistance systems

Driver assistance systems

Based on surround sensors such as radar, video and/or ultrasound, driver assistance systems sense and interpret the surroundings. They assist the driver in various driving situations and increase the driving comfort. In addition, driver assistance systems improve driving safety by supporting the driver in critical driving situations that require rapid and safe action.

In our development center in Leonberg near Stuttgart, our experts work together in the fields of sensor physics, functions development up to system networking. Our systems are based on ultrasonic sensors for close-range monitoring and on radar and video sensors for the mid and long range.

Bosch is a member of several initiatives that aim to promote the public awareness of and knowledge about driver assistance systems: the European initiative “eSafety Aware!”, the German information campaign "bester Beifahrer" by the German Road Safety Council (DVR), as well as the “Driving for Better Business” campaign by the British Department for Transport.
