Today’s cars aren’t just machines—they’re smart. With every new model year, vehicles are becoming more advanced, especially when it comes to Driver Assistance Technologies (DATs). But what do these technologies really mean for your everyday drive—and why should you care, especially if your windshield or cameras need service?

At A Better View Auto Glass, we’re not just experts in replacing glass—we’re here to help you stay safe on the road. And that includes understanding how your vehicle’s safety systems work.

Driver Assistance Technologies are built-in systems designed to help drivers stay safer behind the wheel. These features use sensors, cameras, and onboard computers to help prevent accidents before they happen. Some systems alert you of a hazard; others can actually intervene on your behalf.

These technologies are part of what's known as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)—and many of them rely directly on your windshield cameras and sensors to function properly.

These systems depend on cameras and sensors, many of which are mounted right to your windshield.

If you need a windshield replacement, it's not just about the glass anymore. The camera systems used for lane assist or emergency braking often live right behind your rearview mirror, embedded in the windshield area.

After any windshield replacement, it’s essential that the system is recalibrated properly so it continues to work as intended. A misaligned camera can mean a safety system won’t activate at the right time—or at all.

At A Better View Auto Glass, we provide precise recalibration services to ensure your safety systems keep you protected after a windshield replacement.

Not every auto glass company is equipped to handle vehicles with advanced safety tech. Our team at A Better View Auto Glass is trained to replace and calibrate windshields for modern vehicles equipped with ADAS.

Whether you’re in Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, or Peyton, we’re your local experts in both windshield replacement and ADAS calibration.

Driver Assistance Technologies are here to stay—and they’re making driving safer for everyone. But to work properly, your windshield and camera systems need to be in top shape. If your windshield is chipped, cracked, or recently replaced, give us a call to make sure your safety features stay fully functional.
