ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act

Ensures system functionality after modifications: The bill requires guidelines to ensure that ADAS and vehicle dynamic systems maintain their functionality even when a vehicle is modified or customized (Section 2(a)).

Provides clear calibration procedures: The guidelines will include proper calibration procedures for ADAS and other vehicle dynamic systems following repairs, modifications, or component replacements (Section 2(a)(4)).

Empowers owners and service providers to verify safety: The act calls for the creation of confirmatory test protocols and performance validation metrics so that owners, service providers, and independent repair facilities can verify that ADAS is operating correctly after calibration (Section 2(a)(5)).

Increases transparency for vehicle owners: Manufacturers would be required to provide vehicle tolerance and system sensitivity information relevant to modification and calibration to owners and the Administrator within 30 days of a vehicle's release (Section 2(a)(2)).

Standardizes safety evaluations: The guidelines will utilize or expand upon United States New Car Assessment Program methodologies, including a standardized scoring scale to evaluate calibration effectiveness (Section 2(d)(1)).

Financial penalties for manufacturers: Manufacturers of passenger motor vehicles or equipment that fail to meet the established guidelines are subject to civil penalties (Section 2(e)).

Potential costs associated with guidelines: The bill notes that a study must be conducted to assess the "cost to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration" to develop and maintain these industry guidelines (Section 3(a)).
