SCRS publishes ADAS case study by Diagnostic Network President Scott Brown

The effect of a misdirected front-facing radar on a rental 2019 Nissan Altima SL with adaptive cruise control.

The Society of Collision Repair Specialists’ John Huetter, Editorial Content Director for Repairer Driven News, published a guest column, by Scott Brown, regarding an ADAS case study. Below is the editor’s note, along with a link to the column.

Editor’s note: Diagnostic Network President Scott Brown earlier this month posted a fascinating case study on Diag.net about the effect a misdirected front-facing radar had on a rental 2019 Nissan Altima SL with adaptive cruise control. Though the rental company said no record of collision work existed on the vehicle, the story still carries lessons for the auto body repair industry on precision and road testing, and we’ve shared it here with minor edits. Brown’s point about aerospace law on “return to service” is also an interesting one for auto body shops and even regulators to consider.
