More than 4 million vehicles on the road today are fitted with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) such as autonomous emergency braking, lane departure and keep lane systems, adaptive cruise control and parking assist. ADAS adoption by manufactures is growing and as of 2016. ADAS calibration is required whenever a sensor’s aim is disturbed in anyway. This can occur as a result of collision or be a result of common repair work such as windshield replacement, suspension repairs or wheel alignment.
