If your car has been purchased within the past 10 years, it is possible that it has ADAS installed. ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, are common technologies installed in your car that are designed to enhance already present safety systems. From adaptive cruise control to smartphone connectivity and automated braking, these systems will become mandated in new models of cars within the next few years. If your front windshield is damaged it is imperative that your vehicle's ADAS gets calibrated. The front-facing camera is the main component in helping your car's safety systems stay working properly.
These systems are designed to keep you, your passengers, pedestrians, and other cars safe. It can be difficult to locate where the ADAS technologies are on your vehicle but the camera that controls the system is located on the front windshield. When your camera has not been calibrated after a windshield replacement, it will either overcorrect or under correct your car's lane-keeping system, causing dangerous driving conditions and increasing the likelihood of accidents.
