A decade ago, it wasn't especially common for technicians to encounter cars with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in their shops. For many, learning how to repair and recalibrate ADAS was a distant concern for the future. That's changed drastically in the years since. Nearly every new vehicle being manufactured and sold today has at least one form of ADAS or another. It's no longer an option for people to add to their cars; it comes as part of the standard vehicle package. Given the state of ADAS, it's time for technicians and shop owners to acknowledge that the future is here. The ADAS advancements over the last decade, and especially the last five years, have had great advantages for driver safety. It's why we're seeing more and more ADAS in vehicles, and that number will only continue to grow. Features can be as simple as automatic braking systems or as complex as multi-camera and multi-sensor systems for automatic parking and self-driving. That said, these new technologies bring with them many new challenges for technicians. Since ADAS is currently not standardized across OEMs, or even across vehicles within the same OEM, technicians face several learning curves when it comes to dealing with ADAS. |
