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.
Understanding When & Why OEMs Mandate Post-Repair Calibrations of ADAS Technology
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are evolving rapidly. Thanks to updates that can be wirelessly pushed from OEMs to vehicles overnight, required ADAS calibrations can literally change daily. But there are foundational rules that OEMs follow when determining the need for calibration, and we analyze them here.
Up to 60% of Collision Repairs to Have Mandated ADAS Calibrations in 2025
In Caliber's 2024 Q3 whitepaper, we analyze the projected need for ADAS calibration in collision repair, by repair year from 2024 – 2031. We also look at how repair mix will create variations at the shop level, the methodology behind our projections and the validation process, and we provide an industry-wide call to action.
