Explanation

In Spain, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can be switched off both permanently and temporarily, under current rules. This is allowed because these systems are considered tools that help improve safety, but they are not essential for operating the vehicle. So the driver can decide to switch these systems off when they consider it necessary, while remaining responsible for driving the vehicle at all times.
