ADAS and Glass Quality
The effect of glass quality on the necessity of recalibration and the quality of that recalibration has been the subject of anecdotal discussion and speculation throughout the industry. In this hard-hitting session, you’ll learn the differences in glass quality (OE, aftermarket, etc.) and how quality affects the need to recalibrate. This session also explains why the mistaken belief that ”if you don’t touch the camera, you don’t need to recalibrate,” can lead to major problems.
