Porsche Annapolis will graciously open their facility on April 18th at 9:30am to host PCA Chesapeake for a highly informative tech session presented by Gold Meister Technician Mr. Justin Tufts. Mr. Tufts will discuss which ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) require calibration, the conditions or repairs which may prompt requirement for calibration, and how these systems work together to provide the modern Porsche driving experience. So what is ADAS? ADAS are technologies that assist drivers with the safe operation of a vehicle. Through a human-machine interface, ADAS increases car and road safety. ADAS uses automated technology, such as sensors and cameras, to detect nearby obstacles or driver errors and respond accordingly. ADAS can enable various levels of autonomous driving.
As most road crashes occur due to human error, ADAS are developed to automate, adapt, and enhance vehicle technology for safety and better driving. ADAS is proven to reduce road fatalities by minimizing human error. Safety features are designed to avoid crashes and collisions by offering technologies that alert the driver to problems, implementing safeguards, and taking control of the vehicle if necessary. ADAS may provide adaptive cruise control, assist in avoiding collisions, alert drivers to possible obstacles, warn of lane departure, assist in lane centering, incorporate satellite navigation, provide traffic warnings, provide navigational assistance through smartphones, automate lighting, or provide other features. According to the national crash database in the US, forward collision prevention systems have the potential to reduce crashes by 29%. Similarly, lane keeping assistance is shown to offer a reduction potential of 19%, while blind zone detection could decrease crash incidents by 9%.
Registration is limited to 80 participants and will open at noon March 2 and close at noon, April 15th.
