Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)

ADAS technologies are rapidly becoming standard in modern vehicles. These systems rely on cameras, radar, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors.

Sensors

  • Cameras
  • Radar
  • LiDAR
  • Ultrasonic sensors

Safety features

  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-keeping assistance
  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Adaptive cruise control

37.6% Studies show ADAS components can increase repair costs after a crash by up to 37.6%.

Calibration Even minor collisions or windshield replacements can require precise sensor recalibration.

Impact on repair and service

ADAS significantly increases the complexity of vehicle repair and calibration.

Opportunity: ADAS calibration services

ADAS calibration represents one of the fastest-growing service opportunities in the aftermarket. Shops that invest in the following can capture new high-value service revenue:

  • Calibration equipment
  • Technician training
