Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly common in modern vehicles, but misunderstandings about their capabilities pose safety risks. A key concern is drivers confusing driver *assistance* with *automated* driving, leading to overreliance on the technology. This false sense of security can result in driver complacency and a diminished awareness of surrounding conditions. It is crucial for drivers to fully understand the limitations of ADAS features and maintain active engagement while driving. Properly utilizing ADAS requires acknowledgment that these systems *assist* drivers – they do not *replace* them. Failure to grasp this distinction can ironically increase the chance of accidents instead of preventing them. Manufacturers and educators have a role to play in clarifying ADAS functionality and promoting safe usage.
