ADAS Calibration for Windshield Glass Services in Seneca, SC
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS for short, are quickly being integrated into newer cars, making an enormous difference to the safety of you, your passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers. These built-in technologies are designed to automate, adapt, and enhance already present safety systems. From adaptive cruise control to automated braking, smartphone connectivity, and motion-activated sensors, these systems are prevalent in the marketplace, and within the next few years will be implemented into every new vehicle.
Your vehicle’s ADAS technologies are sometimes hard to identify but the cameras that control the system are most likely in the vehicle’s front windshield. If your vehicle suffers damage it can impair the front-facing camera and other systems. Every millimeter counts within your assisted driver systems. Millimeters within your front-facing camera can equal feet on the road. Functions like “lane departure warning” and “lane-keep assist” will malfunction, either overcorrecting or under correcting, causing dangerous driving conditions and increasing the likelihood for accidents.
ADAS Features in Your Car
There are a wide variety of features that ADAS covers, from “everyday features” to more advanced, cutting-edge features, such as automated parking. These systems function by using both the front facing camera, as well as a 360 degree camera, and the technicians at Glass Doctor of Anniston are trained to calibrate these cameras to get your ADAS systems back in proper working order after a windshield replacement. Below is a comprehensive list of ADAS technologies found in today’s models:

- Collision avoidance systems
- Automated parking
