While driver assistance features are improving safety on the roads, vehicles with advanced driver assistance features cost more to repair.
The cost of repairing increasingly high-tech vehicles, including electric cars and vehicles with autonomous features, means the overall claims costs are trending upwards.
Vehicle repair costs have grown by an average of 33% over the past four years and blames advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for the spiraling costs, with 40% of vehicles expected to feature ADAS by the end of 2020.
The technology is making driving safer and there are fewer fatalities as a result of it, but it’s expensive and it needs specialist bodyshops to repair it.
