Active Lane Departure Warning: New Benchmark with auto motor und sport

Autor: | Released: 4. November 2026

Rear view of a blue MG HS on a winding country road. The vehicle is driving close to the right-hand lane marking, illustrating the ADAS benchmark of active lane departure warning systems conducted by MdynamiX and auto motor und sport.

A lane departure warning system that annoys drivers gets switched off. And can no longer help when it really matters.

That is precisely what makes development so challenging. The system must intervene promptly and decisively when the driver is distracted. But it must not interfere during normal driving – and the driver must always be able to override it effortlessly. In the fourth part of our ADAS benchmark series with auto motor und sport, we tested the active lane departure warning systems of the Audi Q3, BMW i5, Hyundai Ioniq 9, MG HS and VW Golf on motorways, federal highways and rural roads. At 90 km/h, the differences become strikingly clear: While one system corrects the vehicle’s course 31 cm…

ADAS benchmark 2026: new test series with auto motor und sport

Autor: | Released: 23. October 2026

Together with auto motor und sport and the Institute for Driver Assistance and Connected Mobility (IFM) at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, MdynamiX has conducted another ADAS benchmark test series. The latest comparison focuses on four vehicles: Volvo EX90, BMW iX3, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and VW ID. Polo. The tests covered a range of driver assistance functions, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), lane keeping and lane change assistance, lane departure warning systems, and parking assistance systems. The combination of standardized test procedures, precise measurement technology, and data-driven analysis enables an objective evaluation of the different driver assistance systems. Which systems stand…

ADAS validation through mixed reality

Autor: | Released: 22. October 2026

White test vehicle on a proving ground, next to a virtual pedestrian represented as a blue wireframe model – mixed-reality testing for driver assistance systems.

How can real-world vehicle tests be combined with virtual road users to validate ADAS functions more safely, reproducibly and efficiently?

As Euro NCAP and homologation requirements become increasingly demanding, the effort required to validate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) continues to grow. An increasing number of complex scenarios must be tested reproducibly under varying environmental and traffic conditions. Conventional driving tests involving physical targets, test dummies or multiple real vehicles are increasingly reaching their limits in terms of effort, cost and safety. Mixed reality combined with Vehicle-in-the-Loop (ViL) brings together real-world driving tests and virtual traffic scenarios. A real vehicle operates on the proving ground, controlled by a driving robot and connected to a real-time simulation. Additional vehicles, pedestrians and…

Together with auto motor und sport, we evaluated current lane keeping assist systems. The latest comparison test shows that although all systems meet the requirements for SAE Level 2 automated driving, they differ significantly in real-world operation in terms of precision, driver support, and overall system behavior. The test field included the Audi Q3, BMW i5, Hyundai Ioniq 9, MG HS, and Volkswagen Golf. The vehicles were assessed under identical conditions on motorways, federal highways, and rural roads. Among other aspects, the evaluation focused on how precisely the systems keep the vehicle centered in its lane, how they respond to…

What Does the Trade Press Really Say? Our ADAS + UX Team at AHFE 2026 in Istanbul

Autor: | Released: 1. June 2026

Automotive journalists write every day about how vehicles feel. They describe steering precision, ride comfort, usability, and braking behavior—all in vivid, evocative language that reaches millions of readers. But how much of that actually makes it into the requirements that engineers and human factors experts define in the early development phase? Surprisingly little. This is exactly where our current research comes in—and we’re excited to present it in July 2026 at the AHFE International Conference in Istanbul. The Voice of the Press—Systematically Decoded Our paper, “Understanding the Voice of the Press – A KPI-driven Approach to Analyzing Press Requirements for…

Technical Capability Is Not Enough: FIA-Commissioned Study Reveals the Human Factors Behind ADAS Safety Impact

Autor: | Released: 12. May 2026

ADAS have reached a high level of technical maturity and are widely available across Europe — but does technical availability actually make roads safer? To answer this, FIA Region I commissioned IFM – Institut for Driver Assistance and Connected Mobility and MdynamiX to conduct a KPI-based, data-driven study from April to December 2025. The research team — Gioele Micheli, Prof. Dr. Uwe Stratmann, Florence Wagner, Prof. Bernhard Schick, and Prof. Dr. Rolf Jung — combined a structured literature review, public dataset evaluation, and a European customer survey with over 13,000 participants across six or more countries. Key Findings The study’s…

New auto motor und sport Test: Parking Assistance Systems Compared

Autor: | Released: 10. March 2026

BMW i5 bei Testfahrten zur objektiven Bewertung von Parkassistenzsystemen im ADAS-Benchmark von MdynamiX und auto motor und sport.

Together with auto motor und sport, we once again evaluated modern parking assistance systems. Following the first comparison last year, the latest test shows that the systems are increasingly converging – the quality differences between manufacturers have become significantly smaller. The test field included four current vehicles: Audi Q3, BMW i5, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Volkswagen Golf. They had to prove themselves in identical scenarios for parallel and perpendicular parking. The results showed that all tested vehicles can reliably perform parking maneuvers and, in most cases, end up correctly positioned in the parking space without further corrections. The test setups…
