ADAS Repair
What is ADAS:
An advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) is any of a group of electronic technologies that assist drivers in driving and parking functions. Through a safe human-machine interface, ADAS increases car and road safety. ADAS uses automated technology, such as sensors and cameras, to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors, and respond accordingly.
If your car is in an accident, that could affect the ADAS system. This includes:
- Automatic lane changing controlled by turn signal lever: Steers your vehicle through a lane change if there are no other cars in the selected lane.
- Rear cross-traffic alert: Alerts the driver and applies the brakes if the vehicle is about to back up and collide with traffic.
- Blind-spot warning: Issues a visual and audible warning to inform drivers of any oncoming traffic in their blind-spot while changing lanes.
- 360-degree camera systems: Gives drivers a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle to aid in parking.
- Backup camera: Lets drivers see what’s behind the vehicle while backing up. The video feed is usually streamed to an infotainment unit on vehicles’ navigation systems.
As most road crashes occur due to human error, ADAS items are developed to automate, adapt, and enhance vehicle technology for safety and better driving. ADAS is proven to reduce road fatalities by minimizing human error. Safety features are designed to avoid crashes and collisions by offering technologies that alert the driver to problems, implementing safeguards, and taking control of the vehicle if necessary. Adaptive features may automate lighting, provide adaptive cruise control, assist in avoiding collisions, incorporate satellite navigation and traffic warnings, alert drivers to possible obstacles, assist in lane departure and lane centering, provide navigational assistance through smartphones, and provide other features.
