Does InferTrust™ Work with ADAS and Level 2+ Driver Assistance Systems?

How InferTrust™ supports decision integrity for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Level 2+ automation where human drivers remain responsible.

Decision Integrity for the Automation Spectrum

InferTrust™ (Patent Pending) Auto is not limited to fully autonomous (Level 4/5) vehicles. It provides decision integrity for the full spectrum of vehicle automation, including ADAS features (automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control) and Level 2+ systems where the AI assists but the human driver retains responsibility.

Why ADAS Needs Decision Records

ADAS systems are already making safety-critical decisions millions of times per day. When an automatic emergency braking system activates, or a lane-keeping system overrides driver input, or an adaptive cruise control system adjusts speed, the AI made a decision. If that decision contributes to an incident, the vehicle manufacturer, the ADAS supplier, and the fleet operator all need verifiable evidence of what happened.

ADAS Decision Actions

For ADAS and Level 2+ systems, InferTrust™ captures decision events using actions appropriate to the automation level: ASSIST_ACTIVATE (system engaged), ASSIST_OVERRIDE (system took control from driver input), ASSIST_ALERT (warning issued to driver), and ASSIST_DISENGAGE (system deactivated). Each event includes the sensor data confidence, the active assistance policy, and the driver state indicators available to the system.

Regulatory Relevance

NHTSA and international regulators are increasing scrutiny of ADAS performance claims. Verifiable decision records support regulatory compliance by providing evidence that ADAS features operated as specified across real-world driving conditions.
