Advanced driver assistance system and manipulation assembly thereof

A method for configuring a control assembly for an advanced driving assistant system (ADAS) of a car, comprising:

• configuring a manipulation assembly, communicatively coupled to an ADAS control module, to extend independently in a vertical direction from an interior surface of the car, the manipulation assembly comprising a plurality of sensing mechanisms for sensing levered movement of the manipulation assembly, and a rotation sensing mechanism for sensing rotational movement of the manipulation assembly,
• configuring a plurality of control modules of the manipulation assembly for controlling the ADAS, wherein configuring the plurality of control modules comprises
• configuring a speed limit adjustment module to adjust a maximum speed limit at a state of adaptive cruise of the car for the ADAS control module based on a first levered movement;
• configuring a lane change indication module to send a lane change indication for the ADAS control module based on a second levered movement;
• and
• configuring a vehicle distance adjustment module to adjust a minimum distance to another car in front of the car during activation of the ADAS control module using the rotation sensing mechanism, wherein the vehicle distance adjustment module is configured to transmit control signals for increasing or decreasing the minimum distance to the another car in front of the car in accordance with a clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation of the manipulation assembly.
