From the technology embedded in each new car to the efficiency of engines, great strides have been made in car design. All of those improvements create a more enjoyable, efficient and safe vehicle for you to drive, but also create new challenges to car repairs if you\u2019re in a collision. One of the biggest challenges? Keeping tabs on all the technology that now comes in every car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Vehicle Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From end-to-end, new cars\nare embedded with technology. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) offer\ntons of convenience for drivers, as well as improved safety. These systems can\ninclude: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Navigation. <\/strong>Many cars today come already equipped with built-in GPS\nsystems to get directions easily while you\u2019re on the road.<\/li><li><strong>Adaptive\ncruise control <\/strong>keeps your speed\nsteady on the road and give your foot a break from the gas pedal. <\/li><li><strong>Collision\navoidance systems. <\/strong>Some new cars\nwill alert the driver when an obstacle or pedestrian is detected \u2013 and some\neven automatically brake the vehicle for the driver. <\/li><li><strong>Rearview\ncameras. <\/strong>These make it easier to\nback up by showing a view to the driver of what\u2019s behind the car and sounding\nan alarm if the vehicle\u2019s bumper comes too close to an obstacle. &nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Smartphone\nconnections. <\/strong>Bluetooth has become\ncommonplace, making it easy to connect your smartphone to your car\u2019s audio\nsystem. Some cars even offer WiFi for passengers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can Car Accidents Damage\nADAS Technology?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many ADAS features rely on\nsensors embedded within the auto body of the vehicle to operate. The newer your\nvehicle is, the more sensors it will likely have, and these sensors are\nsusceptible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carwise.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/06\/types-of-hidden-damage-caused-by-fender-benders\/\">hidden damage<\/a> because of where they\u2019re located: your bumpers. Sensors that are\ndamaged in a collision \u2013 even if it is a light fender-bender \u2013 can cause these\nADAS features to malfunction or fail. This damage can be costly to repair, but\nit\u2019s important to fix it so that your car is safe to drive when you get back\nbehind the wheel. Losing your car\u2019s Bluetooth or navigation capabilities might\nbe inconvenient, but when collision damage causes adaptive cruise control or\ncollision avoidance systems to malfunction, that creates a serious safety risk\nthat could potentially lead to another collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find a Collision Repair\nShop Near You<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way to tell if your car\nhas hidden damage that will impact your ADAS systems is to get a diagnostic\nscan at a collision repair shop near you. A shop technician can connect their\ndiagnostics tool to your car\u2019s computer system and check to see if there are\nerror codes indicating that a sensor is damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carwise.com makes it easy to find a collision repair shop near you when your car needs repairs.
