An analysis has revealed there is a shortfall of 6,000 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) certified technicians in the UK in 2023 alone. This is just one finding from a report in which the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) has warned that a lack of skills to work on ADAS is putting road users at risk and undermining UK mobility. The document shows that 5% of the UK car parc feature level 2 autonomy, where the vehicle can control acceleration, braking and steering. However, there are currently only 3,000 technicians with IMI TechSafe qualifications to work on vehicles featuring ADAS. By 2030,44% of cars on UK roads will include ADAS, requiring a total of 106,000 qualified technicians. Based on current qualification and training trends, the IMI estimates that there will be a shortfall of 51,000 qualified technicians in seven years. |
