ADAS

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) is an umbrella term for electronic technologies that assist drivers with safety and vehicle control. Common ADAS features include automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alerts. Many of these systems rely on cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors.

ADAS features significantly impact both the retail value of used vehicles and the service department's capabilities. Vehicles equipped with ADAS require specialized calibration after windshield replacements, collision repairs, or alignment work. Dealers who invest in ADAS calibration equipment and trained technicians can capture this growing revenue stream and avoid outsourcing these jobs.
