A short review of the ADAS progress in the last decade and the potential concept of Human-Machine Symbiosis (HMS)

Abstract This short review highlights the main sensor structures that are used in the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assisted System) field, in order to outline the progress at this moment (2023). Starting from this achieved level, we have proposed another approach to the ADAS problematics, regarding the prospects for development after the current moment, a different perspective than the one that has AV (Autonomus Vehicle) as its endpoint. Computer Assisted Driving represents a necessary and sufficient solution for increasing traffic safety in the near future. The integrated driver concept in the assisted environment implies a symbiotic human-machine collaboration. This collaboration requires a psychological acceptance of the ADAS system on behalf of humans, as an essential part of the current and future automobile. The progress highlighted by the documentation undertaken allows us to imagine a concept of a symbiotic human-machine system, based on the communication between ADAS and an external computing resource that assists the driver, based on the long analysis of recorded car events. Future automobiles must include an ADAS system that provides a subtle human-machine synapse, based on a series of computerized warnings to the driver generated in a timely manner, resulting from the high predictive capacity of AI-DLM algorithms. The computing speed of the local ADAS algorithms will be supplemented by the external server processing resource, accessed at the right time, to resolve an unexpected deadlock in the car roll.
