The system provides real-time control of the Instrument Cluster and Adaptive Front-Lighting System (AFS), allowing users to observe actual CAN Bus communication data during driving simulations. This enhances understanding of CAN communication structures and patterns, and serves as a platform for testing and further development in related fields.
