Adas Fundamentals 2026

A practical guide to Levels 2, 2+, 3, and 4: responsibility, ODD, driver monitoring, redundancy, and minimal-risk fallback.

Choose early, late, or deep/BEV fusion for ADAS through latency, sensor-failure robustness, and compute trade-offs.

From fused sensor data to scene understanding: CenterPoint vs DETR3D, Occ3D occupancy prediction, and ByteTrack/OC-SORT tracking on nuScenes.

Where exactly is the car? GNSS/IMU fusion, NDT LiDAR localization at 1.6 cm lateral error, and map-free lane perception with MapTR.

The four decision layers of a self-driving stack: Lanelet2 routing, behavior FSMs, Frenet motion planning, and MPC — plus why rule-based PDM won nuPlan 2023.

Proving safety when you cannot drive 275 million miles: the ISO 26262 ASIL table, the four SOTIF areas, scenario testing, and Euro NCAP 2026's four pillars.
