Do you want to know about xuv 700 ADAS and its features? If yes, then enjoy the every detail of ADAS features here. We will also talk about what the ADAS is like for Indian roads.
ADAS
ADAS means Advanced driver assistance systems. It refers to a collection of technologies that help drivers with driving and parking tasks. ADAS improves automotive and road safety by providing a safe human-machine interface. It uses automated technologies such vehicle sensors, cameras and radars to identify surrounding impediments and driver faults and respond appropriately.
Because the majority of traffic incidents are caused by human error, ADAS is created to automate, adapt, and improve vehicle technology for safety and better driving. It has been shown to minimize fatal accidents by reducing human error.
Mahindra is first Indian manufacturer who introduces this ADAS technology to the masses in this segment. Mahindra is offering ADAS in its xuv 700. now lets start to the features of xuv 700 adas.
xuv 700 adas features
xuv 700 offers level one of adas features, it has so many features which helps you drive safely and give alerts to keep you aware of everything important.
xuv 700 adas: Adaptive cruise control
It is an advanced driver assist system that adapts your speed to the vehicle around you. This is my personally favorite feature of xuv 700 adas. Let us understand about this feature better and know about the usability of it in India.
With the help of radar this system detects the vehicle in front of you, it might be car, bus or any bike. It doesn’t matter the size of the vehicle but it detects it and detects it speed and if the vehicle is going slower than you then it reduces the speed of your vehicle and make a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. When the vehicle ahead increases the speed than your vehicle also increases the speed but always maintains the healthy distance from the vehicle ahead.
Now the most important question, is this system working well in Indian traffic conditions? What do you think about it?
- Yes
- No
- Mixed opinion
If you choose any of the options above, then you are right. Surprised!
If you are driving your xuv 700 on the highway it works really well because most of the people follow the lanes and have another vehicle in front of you but when you are in traffic you can’t expect this system works well because there is no rules abide by the people so everyone comes in front of you from anywhere. In this situation this system can’t be able to detects everything real time.
xuv 700 adas: High beam assist
When you are on the highway in the night you must use high beam to get most visibility, but some people don’t switch it on low beam when find a vehicle in front of you. This work is automatically done by xuv 700 adas system.
xuv 700 adas senses the vehicle coming towards you so it switches high beam to low beam and when the vehicle passes then it again switch it to the high beam automatically.
xuv 700 adas: Traffic sign recognition
A camera is fixed behind the IRVM, which detects the road traffic signs and keep you updated. Like if there is a speed limit sign on the road then it shows you the legal speed limit to slow down your car.
This system works well but as we know at some places you saw the traffic signs are not clear so the camera can’t read those well.
xuv 700 adas: Front collision warning
xuv 700 adas detects the obstacle in front of the car in microseconds and give alerts to the driver.
xuv 700 adas: Automatic emergency braking
As we see the collision warning detection feature, the xuv 700 is equipped with the intelligent system that applies braking automatically if the driver don’t react in time. It really helps to avoid collision and fatal accidents.
xuv 700 adas: Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist helps to keep you just in the middle of the lanes, It has camera which detects the lanes every time and assist you to keep in the lane.
At present Indian highways are in good state and keep improving but if you go on state highways or any other roads, there you might not get any lanes. On these kind of roads you cant be facilitated with these features of xuv 700 adas otherwise these features are quiet helpful.
xuv 700 adas: Smart pilot assist
The smart pilot assist has a virtual assistant to take charge of steering, acceleration and braking in the lane. As we know about the lane assist it helps to keep you in the lane with the help of smart pilot assist. As we know emergency braking or adaptive cruise control, these all works with this smart pilot assist which assist the driver with steering, acceleration and braking.
This car has so many more features, to know all about them and about overall performance about the car you should read our xuv 700 review.
