By 2030, 54% of all cars in Europe will be equipped with Adas systems

The use of this technology meets the European Union's obligation to equip all newly type-approved models with driver assistance systems as of 2022
By 2030, 54% of the car fleet running on Europe's roads will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (also known as Adas). This is four times higher than the share estimated at the end of 2019 (14%) and clearly higher than 2025 estimated (34%). These forecasts, developed by the Autopromotec Observatory based on Boston Consulting Group information, highlight how Adas systems are destined to become an increasingly widespread and essential component to make road traffic safer and protect the health, and lives, of passengers.
Today a significant number of cars (and more are expected in the future) are equipped with high-tech systems capable of aiding motorists in potentially dangerous situations making vehicle handling safer and more efficient. Among them, we find parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, lane change warning and speed control devices. The growing trend of Adas systems is, without a doubt, the sector’s response to the obligation imposed by the European union to equip all new type-approved models that will be introduced on the market from 2022 with driver assistance systems. A mandatory measure imposed by the Eu that goes in the direction of guaranteeing a safer mobility with fewer and less serious incidents. Progress is being made towards the full implementation of the principles introduced by Europe’s "Vision Zero" road safety program, conceived first in Sweden in 1997 but quickly adopted by the entire continent. The aim is to reach the goal of zero victims on the road by 2050.
Therefore, there is no doubt that technologies designed for road safety will play an increasingly vital role in the production of future vehicles. The Autopromotec Observatory points out that the car repair sector will also be affected by the Adas revolution. In fact, service and maintenance operators have no choice but to prepare themselves to deal with these new technologies more frequently, by checking, calibrating and or repairing these new and advanced devices. Adequate maintenance requires training, dedicated tools and skills that car repairers must acquire now in order to offer a service in line with the technological evolution of the sector.
