Many automotive industry safety advocates have been pushing for greater market
penetration for active safety and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS),
with the goal of ending deaths due to car crashes. However, there are
far-reaching implications for the collision repair, specialty equipment, and
performance aftermarket sectors—after a collision or modification, the ADAS
system functionality must be preserved to maintain, driver, passenger, and road
user safety.
To do this, sensor recalibration and ADAS functional safety validation and
documentation after repair, modification, or accessorizing are necessary.
Unsettled Issues on Sensor Calibration for Automotive Aftermarket
ADAS tackles the challenges of accelerating the pace of ADAS
implementation; increasing industry understanding of systems, sensors, software,
controllers; and minimizing the overwhelming variety of sensor calibration
procedures and automaker targets. Additionally, this report addresses the
liability concerns that are challenging the industry as it seeks to move forward
safely.
