In Part 3 of this new podcast series brought to you by Automotive Tech Info, Scott continues his lessons on what ADAS is and how it works, including:
- How radar and lidar systems work together in the ADAS system.
- The precision of these systems in measuring distance to objects.
- What these systems are capable of in tracking multiple objects in front of the vehicle.
- Why dropping an ADAS sensor or slightly bending a sensor mount can have serious consequences.
