The latest car technology explained Matt Peacock, MD of Star Tech, gives his insight into the latest car technology.
Keeping our customers safe on the road.
Technology is advancing with such momentum. We are seeing more vehicles built with intelligent systems to help assist motorists on the road.
Our qualifi ed technicians have experience working with these systems and we ensure they are given the latest training and technical support. It’s a big priority for us. We are proud to lead the way for Independent car specialists in the industry. As a kind customer once said about us “this is no Fred in the Shed!”
Let me explain some of this new technology.
What is ADAS?
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems, or ADAS, is a term used to collecti vely describe these smart features.
ADAS was invented to quickly warn drivers of danger and to help them avoid accidents. Not all cars have these systems and if they do, it may just be one type
of system. Some of the ADAS that are available vary from rear view cameras to aid parking, to more complicated systems like Lane Departure Warning (LDW). This warns the driver if they drift from their lane, especially on motorways. Pedestrian Protecti on systems feature a warning of unsafe pedestrian movement. In additi on, there are more advanced systems that can actually take some control of the vehicle, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB).
Whether your car has adapti ve high beams, a collision detecti on system or autonomous night vision, these are all classed as Advanced Driver- Assistance Systems and require specialist training and equipment to work on them.
Electric & Hybrid Cars
Environmental performance and accountability is the way forward and we are keen to invest in training and equipment for Electric and Hybrid vehicles.
Plans to install an electric vehicle charging point and to promote
servicing and repairs for electric/ hybrid vehicles are in the pipeline as we work hard to stay at the forefront of industry change. Our technicians have already completed the fi rst part of their training with more to follow this year. Furthermore, it’s esti mated around 1,000 technicians are trained to work on Electric or Hybrid vehicles in the UK. Most of these are in dealerships meaning many independent workshops don’t currently have a trained technician to work on hybrid or electric vehicles. Watch this space!
