ADAS Is New. So Why Is Everyone Suddenly an “Expert”?

You know what’s wild? The second someone buys a scan tool and downloads a calibration app, they start calling themselves an ADAS expert.

Never mind the fact that most of these systems are barely a decade old, change constantly, and involve radar, cameras, sensors, manufacturer-specific procedures, and test drives that require surgical precision.

Nope. They’ve got a tablet and a logo on their polo shirt. Clearly, they’re the go-to.

Here's the Truth:

ADAS is still evolving. Fast.Even dealerships — yes, dealerships — often get it wrong. They miss calibrations, overlook requirements, or just plain don’t have the space, tools, or training to do it right.

So what makes someone an “expert” in a field with no licensing body, no certification requirement, and no mandatory compliance enforcement?

Exactly.

ADAS is not plug-and-play.

It’s not one-size-fits-all.And it’s definitely not something you master by watching a YouTube video and borrowing a buddy’s target board.

So maybe let’s pump the brakes on the “expert” talk, and focus on doing it right.
