The Dangers of Having a Cracked ADAS Windshield

As a driver, your job is to get you and your passengers to your destination safely. Windshields play a crucial role in your drive. Your windshield is not only your gateway to seeing the road ahead, but it protects you and your passengers during a collision. Windshield cracks and cuts impair your vision, prevent ADAS technology from functioning, and put your passengers in harm’s way.

Cracked Windshields Impair Vision

A crack in your windshield prevents drivers from seeing clearly. Any smudges or cuts obstruct vision and can cause you to run into problems on the road. Even something as small as a tiny chip should be fixed as soon as possible. Windshield cracks distract drivers and can reflect sunlight into your eyes. As you drive, dirt, debris, and water enter your rift and make it larger. Soon, your entire windshield may be consumed, turning a quick fix into an extensive repair. If your windshield is damaged, do the right thing and get it to All ADAS.

Cracked Windshields Disable ADAS Features

The crack in your windshield presents more problems that meet the eye. If your vehicle relies on ADAS technology to operate, windshield damages impact its safety features. Your ADAS camera can be thrown out of alignment and unable to get clear images of the road ahead. Your ADAS windshield is equipped with sensors that prevent on-road errors. If your windshield is impaired, the sensors send inaccurate messages to drivers. It’s extremely dangerous to drive with a cracked ADAS windshield. Drivers should receive windshield repairs from an ADAS professional team (like us!) to ensure their entire car is safe for the road.

Cracked Windshields Put Passengers at Risk

Windshield cracks reduce the structural integrity and technology features of your vehicle, putting your passengers at a greater risk of injury. Physically, your windshield is designed to protect passengers during a collision. A crack weakens the glass and makes it more likely to shatter even at the slightest impact. In regards to ADAS technology, if your ADAS windshield is malfunctioning, your risk of an automotive collision increases and your passengers can be severely injured or even killed.
