New vehicles typically feature advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which support vital safety features like lane departure warnings, forward collision alerts, lane keeping assistance, and more. ADAS uses sensors and cameras to identify potential hazards, and this information is transferred to an in-vehicle computer that triggers alerts and controls.
ADAS sensors and cameras are often situated around or within the vehicle’s windshield, which makes windshield repair and replacement a lot more complex. This highlights why drivers must work with ADAS certified shops when the time comes for glass repairs.
What Is ADAS Certification and Why Is It Important?
Repair specialists who are ADAS certified have undergone training and education that allows them to service windshields containing sensors, cameras, and other ADAS components. Training will cover windshield repair as well as replacement, as both services can affect equipment.
Along with repairs, trained and certified technicians will have knowledge of ADAS calibration. After windshield repairs or replacement, calibration ensures that sensors and cameras are positioned correctly to take accurate readings of the road. If these components are off kilter, it will impact the function of essential safety features.
