Preventing Accidents, helping People

6D Vision is a base technology that opens up new possibilities for future driver assistance systems. It makes it possible to significantly reduce the risk of accidents and take another big step towards accident-free driving. On the basis of this technology, Daimler is working on potential driver assistance systems that include braking assistance systems that are activated when cyclists or pedestrians cross the road, crossing assistance systems to prevent collisions when turning by applying the brakes and an evasion assistance system that can help prevent accidents at the last second by quickly performing a swerve maneuver.

In addition to driver assistance systems in the field of safety, 6D Vision can also help reduce the burden on the driver and boost comfort, for example in stop and go traffic or narrow lanes around construction sites. The range of potential applications for 6D Vision goes well beyond its use in motor vehicles, and offers potential in all fields where dynamic environments have to be monitored and interpreted, for example in the varied applications of robotics and human/machine interaction.
