Advanced Driver Assistance Systems


Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) augment a vehicle's operating systems for improved safety and better driving. ADAS safety features are designed to avoid collisions and accidents by offering technologies that alert the driver, implement safeguards and even take over control of the vehicle. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are one of the fastest-growing segments in the automotive electronics industry.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems feature automatic lighting, provide adaptive cruise control, automate braking, alert the driver to other vehicles, keep the driver in the correct lane, and show what is in blind spots. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that it will require all new vehicles under 10,000 pounds to have rear view cameras by May 2018.

General Motors has introduced a new rear-view mirror that is actually a monitor for a rear view camera, offering a far better view of what is behind the vehicle as well as other safety alert functions. Because ADAS functions via cameras and sensors which are often mounted on the windshield and other vehicle glass, it is imperative that after a windshield replacement, the cameras and sensors will function properly.

It is always in the vehicle owner's best interest to hire a professional, experienced auto glass technician who is familiar with new auto technology, and is capable of repairing and replacing the auto glass in new vehicles.
