Windshields Mounted Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

An article posted on Repairer Driven News talks about the risks of uncalibrated front-facing cameras The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing of windshield-mounted advanced driver assistance systems last year found that a misaligned Honda Civic camera led to issues with the vehicle’s automatic braking and lane-departure warning systems — which an IIHS researcher said made calibration even more important as a means of compensating. Windshield-mounted cameras are especially sensitive because even a small change in glass position, mounting bracket alignment, or camera aim can affect lane keeping, forward collision alerts, and automatic emergency braking behavior. For drivers who want a plain-language explanation of when recalibration is usually needed after glass work, this guide to ADAS calibration after windshield replacement breaks down the common triggers and warning signs. The IIHS had been testing a variety of manufacturers’ windshields and auto braking after OEM position statements warned of the consequences of variables such as using aftermarket glass, IIHS senior test coordinator Sean O’Malley said....
