Why Windshield Replacement Is Becoming an ADAS Calibration Problem, Not Just a Glass One

Roughly 90% of new vehicles sold today ship with driver assistance hardware as standard equipment, and the average model now carries well over a hundred sensor modules. A cracked windshield once meant a quick, mechanical swap. Industry data from CCC Intelligent Solutions shows that calibration's share of repairable windshield appraisals has grown from under 1% in 2017 to more than 23% by 2025, hitting 33% of all direct-repair-program jobs in Q2 2025 alone. On a current vehicle, what looks like a straightforward glass job increasingly turns into an ADAS calibration windshield replacement.

How Battery Capacity and Energy Management Shape Long-Range E-Bike Performance

Long-range e-bike performance is often reduced to a single number: the maximum distance listed for one charge. That number is useful for comparison, but it does not explain how an electric bike will perform once rider weight, speed, terrain, temperature and riding habits enter the equation. Battery capacity establishes how much energy an e-bike can carry. Energy management determines how efficiently that stored energy is converted into useful miles.

What Are The Different Payment Methods Available For EV Charger Systems?

Electric Vehicles are revolutionising transport. With the increasing shift away from traditional fuelled vehicles, the demand for efficient charging services has become more important than ever. Charging facilities have become a necessary service for private vehicle owners and public transport alike. While electric vehicle users are well aware of the challenges of charging stations, they also struggle to pay for them. Different charging stations have their own pricing and payment systems, and this sometimes can lead to confusion and frustration when charging.

Beyond safety and security: Why automotive open source demands dependability

In the traditional automotive world, teams often work in silos: the cybersecurity experts lock down the ports, the quality assurance teams hunt for bugs, and the functional safety engineers track the ISO 26262 compliance. At Canonical, we believe this fragmented workflow causes friction rather than collaboration. You cannot have a safe vehicle that isn’t secure, and you cannot have a secure vehicle running on poor quality code. This friction results in a slow and rigid development process.

Automotive Supply Chains - From Interior Manufacturing to Logistics

A car has thousands of parts. They come from hundreds of suppliers. They arrive at the assembly plant just in time. Any delay stops the line. A missing seat means the car cannot complete assembly. A damaged part means rework and delays. The automotive supply chain is one of the most demanding in manufacturing. Here is how modern operations manage it.

Why Physical Key Tracking Remains an Operational Blind Spot in Dealership Operations

Modern dealership operations have become increasingly connected, data driven, and process oriented. Dealership groups now rely on advanced systems to manage inventory, customer communication, service scheduling, vehicle logistics, and sales performance. However, one operational area still remains heavily dependent on outdated manual workflows: vehicle key tracking.

The algorithmic driver: navigating liability and risk in automated vehicle safety systems

Automated vehicle safety systems are reshaping how drivers, manufacturers, and legal professionals understand risk and accountability. As these systems become more advanced, questions surrounding Product liability in automated vehicles and the allocation of fault in accidents are increasingly complex. This article examines the key issues in assigning responsibility and managing risk in a landscape dominated by algorithmic decision-making within ADAS liability frameworks.

How Operations Teams Can Retire Fleet Trucks Quickly in Texas

Many Texas businesses are worried about aging trucks in their fleet due to financial and operational concerns. Industry reports indicate that the average operating cost for a truck has increased to $2.27 per mile, making older trucks costly to maintain and straining efficiency. Older trucks can incur higher maintenance costs and delays, affecting production and customer satisfaction. To manage expenses, Texas operations teams need a systematic plan for efficiently retiring fleet trucks. Here are key steps to streamline the process.

Off-Road Vehicles and Fuel Delivery: How Your Fuel System Handles the Demands of Extreme Terrain

Off-road vehicle systems present fuel delivery challenges that begin before the engine starts and continue through every minute of operation across terrain that changes constantly, unpredictably, and in ways no fuel system engineer can fully anticipate for every possible riding environment. The job of the fuel delivery system in an ATV or UTV is not simply to move fuel from the tank to the engine.

The 2026 Automotive Security Testing Companies List

Modern vehicles ship with more software than a small airliner. A single mid-range car can run 100 million lines of code across dozens of electronic control units, talking over CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and increasingly UWB. From a cybersecurity point of view every one of those interfaces is a potential attack vector and every OEM, Tier 1 and fleet operator on the planet now has to prove, on paper, that they have tested their vehicle from a hackers perspective.
