Video sensors can also be increasingly used to contribute towards the safety of vehicle occupants because they specifically support the interpretation of visual information. One example is the Lane Keeping Support function. Here video sensors keep track of lane markings and road curvature. If there is any unintentional lateral drift out of the lane, the driver is warned and additional steering momentum is introduced to bring the vehicle back into the lane.

We combat the increased risk of crashes at night with our active Night Vision system. This allows the driver to see three times as far as with traditional low-beam headlights. In the future, CAPS will be able to warn the driver of obstacles on the road ahead, thus ensuring greater safety in traffic.

Examples of further functions are visibility information and collision warnings. These systems will even be able to identify traffic signs and display them in the cockpit. With the help of this information, a cruise control system can, for example, automatically observe speed limits.
