So is the ADAS system on the Tata Harrier actually useful in Indian driving conditions?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming a big selling point for many modern vehicles, promising improved safety and convenience. With its latest avatar, the Tata Harrier gets ADAS features making it a new landmark for Indian made vehicles. But efficacy and practicality of these systems in Indian chaotic and often unpredictable traffic conditions is debatable. ADAS technology such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking are aimed at making driving safer and easier, but their effectiveness relies highly on the condition of the road, behavior of the traffic, and the quality of infrastructure. Some users love these features for adding a layer of safety, other think of it as an unnecessary hindrance in the context of India. Most of the discussion revolves around whether these systems are really adapted for Indian roads or whether they are more suited to the structured driving environments of Western countries.
And I have used the Harrier’s ADAS on highways and it works surprisingly well. In moderate traffic, the adaptive cruise control works great and the lane keep assist is useful on well to mark roads. It's a good start for Indian conditions, not perfect by any means.
