It's time to admit self-driving cars aren't going to happen With the shutdown of Argo AI, Ford walking away from full autonomy and Tesla under criminal investigation, full self-driving looks impossible.

Eleven people in the US have died in crashes involving vehicles that were using automated driving systems...in just a four-month period. Part of an alarming pattern of incidents linked to driver reliance on technology.

We are lobbying for more awareness around Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and the road safety issues that can occur when drivers start relying on this technology without ongoing maintenance.

Experts 'baffled' at lack of action after automated-tech cars kill 11 Ten of the deaths involved Tesla vehicles and are part of an alarming number of incidents...

Did you know that New Zealand’s Vehicle Inspection Requirements have been updated to include Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) inspection upon initial registration or re-registration of a vehicle in NZ?

During certification, if a vehicle has an ADAS warning lamp illuminated, further diagnostic checks must be carried out. The vehicle is ‘flagged’ and an ADAS declaration must be obtained.

A person or company recognised as reputable, competent, and trained in the interrogation of automotive electronic control systems must be used. Once any issues are rectified, the ADAS declaration form is completed and retained with the vehicle file.

ADAS Experts are proud to be leading the way in ADAS inspections and declarations in Aotearoa. It’s great to see that a process we have lobbied for is now a requirement. Thanks to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency for recognising ADAS regulation as an important issue for the ongoing safety of kiwi drivers.
