ADAS Garage

Modern vehicles are no longer mechanical machines, they’re software-driven systems on wheels. As Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems become standard, ADAS calibration has shifted from an occasional requirement to a mandatory, high-frequency operation in collision and glass repair. In this episode, we explore why shops must move beyond a traditional mechanical mindset and adopt a tech-forward, digit...

The $34 Billion Payoff—The Net Economic Benefits of ADAS Calibration This episode explores the core thesis that standardizing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) servicing is an economically sound investment, positioning proper calibration as the key to driving down costs while driving up safety. We dive into the immense financial advantages of closing the "calibration gap," which currently...

Welcome to episode 4 of ADAS Garage! This month, we're diving deep into our new white paper exposing a truth vital for the entire auto industry: ADAS safety depends entirely on precise sensor calibration, and "close enough" is dangerous. The research found that "No Calibration" after a repair led to complete system failure for critical features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure w...

This week, we're cutting through the noise and looking at the real-world impact of ADAS technologies using data from the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI). We'll analyze HLDI's findings on how various systems affect insurance claim frequencies, revealing which technologies show statistically significant reductions across different coverages like collision and liability. Discover the strong perfor...

Is your car smarter than ever at avoiding a crash? Dive into the fascinating progression of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) . This episode unpacks exclusive findings from a AAA research report that puts early and late-model AEB technology head-to-head. Discover how far this life-saving technology has come, with late-model vehicles nearly twice as likely to avoid collisions compared to older syst...

In this inaugural episode, we delve into the newly established Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 127, which mandates the inclusion of Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) systems in all passenger cars and light trucks by September 2029.  We explore the implications of this regulation, its expected impact on vehicle safety, and how it aims to reduce rear-end and pedestrian collisions....
