Recently, a new episode of the award-winning Advancements, hosted by Ted Danson, featured the above segment showcasing the importance of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The episode also highlights how critical it is for both driver and passenger safety that these technologies to be appropriately calibrated after a collision or glass repair.
Thought leaders from Protech Automotive Solutions, Caliber’s official and trusted partner for ADAS calibrations and automotive technology leadership, shared their insights during the broadcast.
The episode shares insights on the following topics:
-
How ADAS works to help prevent accidents by supporting driver awareness
-
How ADAS can become misaligned, including after a collision or windshield replacement, and why it’s critical that systems are calibrated
-
The importance of following the guidelines of the specific vehicle manufacturer when calibrating and the tools the industry uses to reference these guidelines

Ramifications of Incomplete or Incorrectly Performed ADAS Calibrations
In this analysis of a case study from American Honda Motor Co., we look at what factors could lead to a calibration procedure “completing” —without errors—but still being incorrectly performed, leading to ADAS malfunction. Caliber also suggests steps the collision repair and auto insurance carriers can take to help prevent these scenarios.
Update: Projected Increase in Demand for Post-Repair ADAS Calibrations
Our mid-year update to our 2024 white paper. In this Insight, Caliber shares new data surrounding the current demand for ADAS calibrations in the collision repair industry. Data shows demand exceeds initial projections, reaching 65% in Q2 of 2025.
Number of Calibrations per RO to Increase, Potentially with MY2027
Combining factors, including legislation and endorsements from key safety ratings, are converging to a common goal: improved ADAS performance. Manufacturers may need to increase the number of cameras and sensors on their vehicles, as well as integrate new technologies such as LiDAR and AI. Caliber analyzes how and when these changes might impact the collision repair industry.
