ROME – Autonomous driving is an objective that is as fascinating as it is difficult to achieve, but at the moment it offers a strong implementation to the development of driving assistance systems, which are increasingly effective and widespread. According to a study by the Autopromotec Observatory, based on Boston Consulting Group information, by 2030 54% of the car fleet on European roads will be equipped with “Advanced Driver Assistance System”, commonly known as Adas, the advanced systems for car driving assistance.
The escalation of these devices is evidenced by the fact that it is a share four times higher than that estimated at the end of 2019 (14%) and in sharp growth also compared to that forecast for 2025 (34%). These forecasts therefore highlight how the Adas systems are destined to become an increasingly widespread and essential component to make circulation safer and protect the safety of road users. It is no coincidence that even in the vehicle safety tests of the independent ETSC the presence of the ADAS becomes decisive in aspiring to the assignment of the coveted 5 stars, the maximum score that can be attributed. Currently there are already many car models equipped with high-tech systems capable of supporting the driver while driving and making vehicle management safer and more efficient. Among the most common devices we find, for example, parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, lane change warning and speed control systems.
According to the Autopromotec Observatory, the growth trend of Adas systems certainly responds to the obligation imposed by the European Union to equip all newly approved models with driver assistance systems that will be introduced on the market starting from 2022. An obligation, that imposed by the EU, which aims to guarantee a safer mobility system, with fewer accidents and less serious accidents with the aim of reaching the zero death threshold by 2050 deriving from road accidents. “There is therefore no doubt that safety technologies on board motor vehicles will increasingly characterize the future production of car manufacturers – underline the Autopromotec Observatory – The world of car repairs will also be affected by the ADAS revolution. In fact, service operators must prepare to “get their hands” more and more frequently on new technologies, checking or repairing the devices the car is equipped with. For the maintenance of these systems, training, dedicated tools and skills are required that car repairers must acquire in order to offer a service that is always adequate for technological evolution “. And precisely in this sense, Carglass, a leading company in the field of rapid replacement of automotive glass, has started the activation of specific areas at its service centers specifically dedicated to the maintenance and repair of Adas.
