ADS marker lamps are small turquoise lights that indicate when a car is driving itself. This article explains the emerging SAE and UNECE standards, real-world adoption by Mercedes‑Benz, workshop considerations and why clear signalling could become the universal language of autonomous driving.
Explore the future of ADAS calibration as self-calibrating sensors, AI-driven adjustments, over-the-air updates and remote diagnostics reshape workshop practices. Learn how these technologies will change technician roles, data security and training requirements.
Explore how suspension lifts, lowering springs, wheel alignments, tyre sizes, offsets and pressures influence ADAS sensor alignment. Learn why modified ride heights and tyres require recalibration and get best practices to keep driver aids accurate.
LiDAR sensors build 3D point clouds of the road environment and need their own calibration routines. Learn how LiDAR alignment differs from camera boards and radar targets, including the use of reflective 3D markers, controlled lighting, internal channel checks and multi-sensor coordination.
