Smart Vehicle Sensors

Smart Vehicle Sensors explores the vital role of sensor technology in modern vehicles, focusing on how these components enable advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. The book argues that sensors are not simply additions to cars but integral to creating intelligent, interconnected systems that enhance safety and efficiency. Early sensors focused on basic functions, but today's sophisticated sensors, like radar and lidar, offer increasingly accurate environmental perception. This transformation is crucial for understanding the future of automotive engineering and intelligent transportation systems.

The book provides a comprehensive overview of sensor technologies, including cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and inertial measurement units (IMUs). It details how these sensors are applied in ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, as well as their utilization in achieving higher levels of vehicle automation. A unique focus is placed on the system-level integration of sensors, emphasizing how different sensors work together to comprehensively perceive the vehicle's surroundings.

Concluding with a discussion of the ethical and societal implications of sensor-driven technologies, the book addresses topics such as data privacy and algorithmic bias. Supported by empirical data, industry reports, and regulatory standards, Smart Vehicle Sensors is designed to be accessible to a broad audience, including engineers, researchers, and policymakers interested in the technological advancements driving the automotive industry.
