What is ADAS?
Before we proceed with the listicle, let’s have a brief look at what ADAS is and how it works for a vehicle. Radar-centered ADAS grants autos a degree of self-governing ability.
This modern safety technology assists drivers in driving and parking functions. Sensors, cameras, and radars work altogether to scan the area and feed that information to the system of a car. Then, based on the inputs, the system performs accordingly to prevent an accident.
Here is the list of best five cars with ADAS technology:
Honda City e:HEV
The Honda City Hybrid or e:HEV offers various segment-first features and ADAS technology. With Honda Sensing Technology, the Honda car gets a Collision Mitigation System which includes an Automatic Emergency Braking System.

Even if you don’t, the system will automatically apply hard brakes to completely stop the car.
Apart from this, the Honda City offers a Road Departure Mitigation System that prevents you from going off the road. Even if you do, the system will bring the car back to the road gently. With Lane Departure Assist, you can keep your car within the lane while driving.
Besides, the car also has Auto High-beam Assist that helps in lowering the high beam when it senses approaching traffic. Another safety feature that Honda City gets is Adaptive Cruise Control which is quite helpful in long distance driving.
