Advanced driver assistance systems: Cameras or sensor fusion?

One of the fiercest areas of competition in the automotive industry today is the field of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving, both of which have the potential to significantly improve safety.

Building on these technologies, a completely autonomous, Level 5 car could provide game-changing economic or productivity benefits, such as a fleet of robotic taxis that would remove the need to pay wages to drivers, or by allowing employees to work or rest from their car.

Carmakers are currently testing two key approaches to these ADAS and autonomous driving systems, with interim steps manifesting as the driver-assist features we see and use today: AEB, lane-keeping aids, blind-spot alerts, and things of that note.
