The first part, the design of an ADAS system started with the investigation of user and stakeholder requirements. It was found that drivers accept ADAS systems, as long as they keep a certain amount of control. To comply to these requirements, the system uses so called system states. Every system state offers a certain amount of control, leaving the choice with the driver. To define which drive tasks were to be supported, a system analysis of current ADAS systems has been made. Functions of these systems have been integrated into new multipurpose functions and components. The results offers the support of the future driver in both longitudinal and lateral direction, by combining functions of current systems like cruise control, lane monitoring and control, obstacle avoidance and speed assistance. Improving safety is the primary goal of the system. Other characteristics are its flexibility and adaptability in use, and sustainable component selection
