Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are an important component of most new cars manufactured today, and they have been developed with the intention of keeping drivers safe from crashes. Collision Intervention Technologies are obviously a big part of preventing collisions, but they are causing a high proportion of problems with ADAS.
According to a new report, called the J.D. Power 2022 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) Quality and Satisfaction Study, Collision Intervention Technologies “account for 13 per cent of total industry problems with 23.1 PP100 (problems per 100 vehicles).”
Specifically, lane departure warning/lane keeping assistance and forward collision warning/automatic emergency braking features have the most problems of all features, 6.3 PP100 and 4.6 PP100, respectively.
“As vehicle technologies continue to evolve, manufacturers are working hard at staying innovative,” said Ashley Edgar, senior director of global automotive supplier benchmarking and alternative mobility at J.D. Power. “Although innovation is important, it is equally important to ensure current technologies, such as collision intervention features, are functioning to the highest degree. If manufacturers want to increase the level of autonomy in the future, today’s features cannot be problematic.”
The ADAS Study is based on responses from 84,165 purchasers and lessees of new 2022 model-year vehicles who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study was fielded from February through May 2022.
