In this white paper, The Importance of ADAS Calibration for Collision Prevention and Road Safety, I present compelling real-world data that shows how improperly calibrated—or completely uncalibrated—ADAS systems can dramatically compromise vehicle safety. Backed by findings from the National Safety Council and IIHS, I illustrate how even slight sensor misalignments can render these safety systems ineffective, increasing the risk of accidents.

This paper is a call to action for body shops: to follow OEM standards, invest in proper calibration tools, and rigorously document their work—not just for compliance, but to truly protect the drivers who depend on us.

In this Forbes Tech Council article, I argue that body shops must adopt a tech-centric mindset to stay relevant in today’s vehicle repair landscape. As ADAS systems become ubiquitous, post-repair calibration is no longer optional—it’s a critical workflow.

I highlight how traditional shops need to integrate digital tools, embrace efficient systems, and prioritize data accuracy to deliver safe, compliant repairs in a rapidly evolving automotive environment.

This article examines a critical but often hidden issue in modern vehicle repair: the improper handling of ADAS sensors post-collision. As vehicles become increasingly dependent on these systems for core safety functions, even minor misalignments or overlooked calibrations can pose serious risks.

The piece calls for greater awareness across the industry, advocating for standardized procedures, better technician training, and stronger accountability to ensure sensor accuracy and protect drivers long after a repair is complete.

This contribution highlights one of the key hurdles in the evolution of LiDAR technology: integrating it across a wide range of automotive platforms without compromising on cost or reliability. It outlines a multifaceted approach to overcoming this challenge, including sustained investment in R&D, close alignment with shifting regulatory standards, supply chain optimization, and focused go-to-market strategies.

Just as crucial, it emphasizes the role of talent retention—through well-structured incentive programs—in maintaining a motivated, innovative team that can keep pace with the demands of a rapidly changing industry.

This article explores the shifting landscape of LiDAR technology as it moves beyond the spec-sheet arms race toward a more mature, value-driven phase. As LiDAR becomes increasingly commoditized, the focus is no longer solely on range, resolution, or refresh rate—instead, automakers and integrators are prioritizing real-world performance, ease of integration, and total system value.

The piece argues that success in this evolving market will depend less on raw technical specs and more on how well the technology fits into larger vehicle systems, supports functional safety, and delivers measurable outcomes in actual driving environments.
