The Hidden Dangers: Common Mistakes with ADAS After Accidents

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)—including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist—represent a revolutionary leap in automotive safety. These systems rely on a network of precisely calibrated cameras, radars, and sensors to perceive the world. However, many vehicle owners and even some repair shops dangerously underestimate how fragile this calibration is. Following accidents or common maintenance procedures, improper handling of ADAS doesn"t just disable these features—it can create a false sense of security with malfunctioning systems, leading to potentially catastrophic consequences.
