What does participation mean?
The ADAS Alliance is a network of organizations where knowledge is exchanged regarding vehicle developments and, in particular, driver assistance systems. As a member of the ADAS Alliance, you gain access to the network: from parts manufacturers to knowledge institutions.
Twice a year, the ADAS Alliance organizes a partner event for our participants. This is the perfect opportunity to gain knowledge of developments in the sector and network with other organizations. The ADAS Partner Event offers a platform for participating organizations to tell their story regarding driver assistance systems.
A platform for your organization
Would you like to share your experiences, projects, or insights regarding driver assistance systems? We are happy to offer our participants a platform.
In our newsletter and during the biennial Partner Event, we put the initiatives of our participants in the spotlight.
