ADAS  - advanced driver-assistance system - cameras detect dangerous road conditions such as potholes and road construction, and the system shares such information with vehicles in the vicinity including motorcycles. The system is designed to enhance the safety of everyone sharing the road by calling attention to potentially dangerous spots before vehicles pass through the area.
