Modern cars are equipped with various electronic driver assistance systems. These systems are implemented as optional, additional microprocessor-based embedded systems that perform specific functions within the vehicle using different sensors. The main motivations for integrating various embedded electronic systems include increasing traffic safety, adding new functionalities, reducing fuel consumption to protect the environment, and enhancing the value and competitiveness of the vehicle. The aim of this research is to analyze the effects of applying advanced electronic driver assistance systems and their legal regulation.
