Table 1 Comparative Analysis of Assisted Driving Systems and Driverless Systems.

From: Elucidation of user autonomous driving system preference mechanisms under the extension of internal and external factors

Dimensions

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)

Driverless systems

Technological dependency

Relying solely on onboard sensors such as radar and cameras, the system can directly achieve functionalities without external communication21

V2X communication, dependence on high-precision maps, and redundant systems enabled by AI algorithms facilitate real-time decision-making22

Security

ADAS reduces driver distraction risks by monitoring vehicle status and environment in real-time, effectively decreasing collision likelihood, though it cannot fully replace human judgment23

Theoretically, it can eliminate human driving errors such as fatigue and distraction, significantly reducing traffic accidents, but must address extreme scenarios like sudden obstacles22

Cost

Cost-effective and easy to integrate, these systems are widely adopted in the market24

Hardware components such as LiDAR and multi-sensor fusion systems, along with software like AI decision-making algorithms, entail high costs, necessitating redundant design and ongoing research and development25

Application scenarios

Suitable for various traffic scenarios, including highways and low-speed environments26

It can cover all scenarios but requires infrastructure improvements27

Features of use

Drivers need to adapt to system limitations; ADAS may diminish driving enjoyment, and user trust in these systems varies23

Long-term education and pilot programs are essential, relying on comprehensive infrastructure such as V2I communication and high-precision maps. Currently in the pilot stage, public acceptance remains relatively low22
