Equip Your Car With Level-1 ADAS: New Add-on Solutions

Level 1 ADAS features has caught the attention of car fans, bringing advanced safety tech to cars. Earlier, only luxury cars had ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), but now, thanks to add-on solutions, even affordable cars like the Maruti WagonR can have it.

A video, shared by Queen on Wheels on YouTube, shows a device installed in a WagonR that adds Level 1 ADAS features. This device, a dash camera, also works as an infotainment screen. It shows footage from front and rear cameras and can be fixed on the windshield or dashboard.

When driving, the front camera keeps an eye on the road. It beeps if the car gets too close to others or drifts out of its lane. It also alerts the driver if other vehicles come close or move away. Some ADAS features include Lane Departure Warning, Collision Alert Warning, and Leading Vehicle Departure Warning.

But remember, this device doesn’t control the car directly; it just warns the driver. It records good-quality videos, especially in low light. Although it doesn’t offer all Level 1 ADAS features, it's a significant upgrade for the Maruti WagonR and works with many other cars too.

Besides safety, dash cameras are becoming popular because they can provide evidence in accidents or road rage incidents. With more cars on the road, having a dash camera can help prove innocence and encourage safer driving habits.
