The rise of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in India marks a major leap toward safer and smarter mobility. Once reserved for luxury cars, ADAS features such as lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking are now available in mass-market models.
Currently, most cars in India come with either Level 1 ADAS, which provides driver alerts and limited steering or braking intervention, or Level 2 ADAS, which can partially control the vehicle under certain conditions.
