ADAS of ALABAMA
In 2019, almost 60 million vehicles in the U.S. were equipped with some sort of ADAS technology, like parking assistance, adaptive cruise control, or collision-avoidance systems.
Currently all new vehicles on the U.S. market are required to have at least one ADAS system — automatic emergency braking.
In order to return a damaged vehicle to OEM specifications, an understanding of ADAS is critical for repair facilities.
With more vehicle autonomy than ever, drivers are relying on powerful technology to stay safe. If that technology isn’t repaired correctly, it could spell disaster. Driver assistance systems rely on sensor data collected by camera, lidar, radar, and other sensors located throughout the vehicle.
What happens when ADAS sensors are moved and replaced, during windshield replacement? Likewise, what happens if there is a collision that jolts cameras and other sensors out of their factory-specified position?
Recalibration is vital to ensure that automated warnings and vehicle actions are provided under the right conditions.
