Enhancing Driver Safety with Our New Advanced Driver Assistance System Features
Continuing to iterate and improve on the safety of our technology is vital in enhancing the usability and experience of our products. Today, we’re excited to unveil the new features of our Advanced Driver Assistance System, commonly known as ADAS, that will become standard on all Xos stepvans moving forward.
The ADAS features that will be implemented include:
Rear Camera: Although not part of the advanced driver assist system, the Rear Camera is a useful tool that comes standard on all Xos stepvans. The camera helps assist the driver in reversing the vehicle with confidence, providing images from the top edge of the back end of the truck.
ADAS features are widely recognized as one of the most effective ways to prevent accidents or collisions. ADAS is an industry-standard when it comes to passenger cars, and is becoming more widely adopted in commercial vehicles as a potential safety measure for drivers and fleets. Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows that forward collision mitigation technology can reduce front-end commercial vehicle accidents by up to 44 percent.
We’re excited to get our new ADAS features in our stepvans, and to continue bringing you new features that help improve the safety and operation of your fleet.
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. It does not replace safe driving.
