Abstract
An Advance Driver Assistance System of a vehicle collects measurements for a driving event, including GPS coordinates for a specific location from the EH system, and logs the data into an on-vehicle database. The ADAS uses the data in the on-vehicle database to develop a history associated with the specific location. Information, including GPS coordinates and recorded false output warnings, may be shared between the on-vehicle database and an off-vehicle database, such as associated with and Electronic Horizon system, providing an opportunity to significantly improve the feature performance of the ADAS. Driver assist information may be compiled between the off-vehicle database and the on-vehicle database, thereby continuously updating the knowledge base of the ADAS and optimizing feature performance of the ADAS over the life of the vehicle.
