"Karina and the team as a whole was just absolutely amazing and very helpful. After a few visits the technician, Tanner, was able to locate the issue and got the repairs done in a very timely manner. The car is back driving great and I am very happy I chose this location to work on my car!"

Personal opinion is that ADAS should go to the specialists. There is too much risk for your customer's safety for any ol' fly by the seat of the pants operation to tackle it. Absolutely should go to specialists.

I agree, Russell. I think the next question is around if a shop should be raising their own specialists or if they should sublet. There are some great specialists out there but sometimes geography comes into play. As the amount of ADAS related repairs increase, especially if you're following OEM procedures, I believe it gets harder to ignore the need to adapt. I think every shop has different capacities to take on something like this but a need for a true strategy is pretty important moving forward.

ROBERT SOLEI

Agreed 100%. If this is looped in to a normal repair facility there are too many chances that it will not be done properly.

Jorn Aebert

Great topic. So many things to consider. Yes, you should have a dedicated Person for your calibration procedures. However, identifying the different ADAS systems should be part of the pre-repair inspection. Knowing how the ADAS Systems work is important. Disconnecting the battery can trigger the need to initialize Parking Sensor and/or recalibrate the Steering Angle Sensor. Adaptive Cruise Control Radar Sensors, Lane Departure Warning Cameras may require calibration when the Suspension is repaired and 4-Wheel Alignment performed. In many cases there will not even be a warning light on to let you know there is a need for a calibration. Calibrating ADAS Systems is part of the Repair process and should not be ignored.

Craig Tomczyk

I’m of the opinion that it’s very possible that in the future we may see ADAS specialty shops just like glass replacement specialists. However, unless more advanced ADAS systems emerge on future vehicles that can calibrate themselves or become more user friendly to calibrate I believe it will be a necessity for all techs be able to handle the basics. At the very least identify when and where a recalibration needs to be performed. With the current average age of all vehicles on the road being roughly 12 years old. The excess amount of vehicles still on the road without these systems has bought the industry some extra time to work some of these issues out. (edited)

Joel Adcock

Every shop, whether collision or mechanical should be prepared with the proper information on when a calibration needs to be completed and whether they do them in-house or sublet, there is no longer any excuse to simply look the other direction because a car was not scanned or there are no lights or codes, etc. The data is there to substantiate the need to invest in the equipment or with the appropriate relationship with a vendor who has the equipment and start doing that now... Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ACC was installed in approximately 55% of new vehicles sold in 2023, up from 40% in 2020. The adoption rate is expected to reach 75% by 2025 . Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) LKA systems were present in about 50% of new vehicles in 2023, compared to 35% in 2020. This feature is projected to be in 70% of new vehicles by 2025 . Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) AEB systems were included in 65% of new vehicles in 2023, up from 50% in 2020. The adoption rate is anticipated to hit 85% by 2025. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) BSD systems were available in 60% of new vehicles in 2023, an increase from 45% in 2020. It will be included in 80% of new vehicles by 2025. Global ADAS Market Size The global ADAS market size was valued at approximately USD 32.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 83.0 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% from 2023 to 2030 . ADAS Penetration in New Vehicles By 2023, nearly 85% of new vehicles sold globally were equipped with at least one ADAS feature. This number is expected to rise as manufacturers increasingly standardize these systems across various vehicle models. AI-Driven ADAS Systems The market for AI in ADAS is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated CAGR of over 20% from 2022 to 2030. AI-driven features, such as predictive analytics, real-time decision-making, and personalized driving experiences, are major growth drivers. 65% of vehicles that need a calibration are getting delivered to vehicle owners with those calibrations NOT being completed. Who is on the hook if something happens post-repair? (edited)
