Kizuna ADAS
AR-Guided ADAS Calibration — The first voice-guided, augmented reality calibration system for automotive safety sensors. Built on Android. Powered by Solstice.
01 — The Problem
ADAS Calibration is Broken
74% of vehicles on the road have ADAS. Only 11% of shops can calibrate in-house. The process hasn't evolved since it was invented. It's tape measures, plumb bobs, and prayer.
50%
of owners report post-calibration issues (IIHS)

Current Process

Hang plumb bobs from front and rear badges to find vehicle centerline
Measure distances with tape measure — varies by model, year, and sensor
Manually level radar stand with bubble level
Calculate floor slope compensation by hand using TSB worksheet + laser level
No feedback on whether target placement is within OEM tolerance
Can pass calibration 2 inches off — car now looking outside the roadway at 70mph
No documentation of actual target placement — "picture of a tape measure" for liability
Requires $250K-300K in equipment and a 45ft × 30ft controlled space

Kizuna ADAS

📱 Phone computes vehicle centerline digitally — no plumb bobs, no guessing
🗣️ Voice guidance: "Move the stand 6 inches left... 3 inches... lock it down"
📐 Floor slope measured automatically — no worksheet, no math, no laser level
🎯 Real-time AR overlay — green when in tolerance, red when out, with distance readout
🔍 Pre-calibration verification confirms target placement BEFORE the scan tool runs
💡 Environmental check detects shadows, reflections, and clutter that cause failures
📋 Timestamped PDF report with verified measurements — real liability protection
💰 Works in any bay. Phone they already own. No additional hardware required.
02 — The Solution
The Phone Becomes the Precision Instrument
Kizuna ADAS uses proprietary spatial measurement technology and voice AI to replace $300,000 in shop equipment with guided AR calibration assistance.
🎯

AR Target Guidance

Real-time augmented reality overlay shows exactly where calibration targets need to be placed. Green/red visual feedback with millimeter distance-to-correct readout. The tech sees the correct position projected onto their phone screen over the real shop floor.

🗣️

Voice-First Workflow

Completely hands-free. The tech holds or mounts the phone while moving heavy equipment. AI voice guides every step: vehicle identification, centerline computation, target placement, environment check, calibration trigger, verification, and report generation.

📐

Automatic Floor Compensation

Proprietary sensor fusion automatically measures floor slope across the calibration zone and computes the compensation angle required by OEM specs. Updates in real-time. No worksheets. No math. No laser level.

📋

Compliance Documentation

Every calibration generates a timestamped PDF: verified target position vs OEM spec, floor slope measurement, lighting analysis, sensor pre/post status. Insurance-grade evidence that it was done right. No other tool generates this.

03 — The Experience
A Calibration in 6 Steps
What the technician actually experiences. From opening the app to generating the compliance report.
01

Vehicle Identification

Connect to vehicle OBD port. Kizuna reads the VIN automatically, identifies the exact make, model, year, trim, and ADAS package. Loads all calibration specs for this specific vehicle.

"I see a 2021 Toyota Camry XSE with TSS 2.5+. This vehicle has front radar, front camera, and blind spot monitor sensors. What do you need to calibrate today?"
02

Pre-Scan & Environment Check

Kizuna scans all ADAS-related modules for fault codes, checks for relevant TSBs and recalls, then assesses the calibration bay — floor slope, ambient lighting, reflective surfaces, and obstructions in the sensor field of view.

"Pre-scan complete. Your floor has a 0.3 degree slope toward the bay door — I'll compensate for that automatically. I'm detecting a reflection from the toolbox at your 2 o'clock. Can you cover it or move it?"
03

Centerline & Sensor Lock

The tech walks around the vehicle with the phone. Kizuna computes the vehicle's longitudinal centerline and identifies the sensor being calibrated. Both are locked in 3D space.

"Walk slowly along the left side... good. Now the right side... Centerline computed. Point your camera at the front badge... Got it. Radar sensor origin locked."
04

Guided Target Placement

Kizuna projects the OEM-specified target position onto the phone screen as an AR overlay. The tech moves the calibration stand into position with real-time voice and visual feedback until placement is within manufacturer tolerance.

"You're 140mm to the right of centerline... 80mm... 30mm... 12mm — slow down... 5mm... 2mm — you're within tolerance. Lock the stand."
05

Calibration Execution

Kizuna verifies target placement against OEM spec, then initiates calibration through the vehicle's diagnostic interface. Monitors progress and diagnoses failures in real-time.

"Verification complete. Target is 1.5mm right of centerline — within the ±4mm spec. Sending calibration command... in progress... complete. Calibration successful."
06

Compliance Report

A comprehensive PDF is generated with all verified measurements, OEM spec comparison, pre/post fault scan, environmental data, and timestamps. Saved, shareable, insurance-grade.

"Report generated and saved. Front radar calibrated to within 1.5mm of OEM specification. Want me to email it to the customer or the insurance company?"
04 — Proven Results
Precision That Speaks for Itself
Kizuna achieves sub-OEM tolerance accuracy through a proprietary multi-layer spatial measurement system. The numbers aren't theoretical — they're measured.

Measurement Accuracy

Proprietary spatial measurement pipeline achieves ±2mm positioning accuracy — well within the ±4mm centerline tolerance required by Toyota and other OEMs. Multi-layer verification ensures no false confidence: if the system can't verify, it tells you.

Floor Slope Compensation

Automatic slope detection to ±0.1° precision. Exceeds what a $200 self-leveling laser provides. Compensation is computed and applied automatically to target height calculations — no TSB worksheet, no manual math.

Failure Prevention

Environmental pre-check catches the conditions that cause 80% of calibration failures before the scan tool even runs: insufficient lighting, reflective surfaces in the sensor FOV, obstructions, and floor levelness issues. Fix it before you waste 45 minutes.

Built-In Verification

Every target placement is independently verified against OEM specs before calibration executes. The compliance report documents what was measured — not what someone eyeballed. This is the documentation that holds up in court.

05 — Vehicle Coverage
Launch: Toyota / Lexus
Initial release covers the 7 highest-volume Toyota models with Toyota Safety Sense (2018-2024), representing millions of vehicles on US roads. Lexus models share the same ADAS platforms.

06 — Business Case
The Numbers That Matter

Market Size

65% of collision repairs now require ADAS calibration. With 16M collision repairs/year in the US, that's 10.4M calibrations/year — most outsourced at $300-500 each. Total addressable market for calibration services: $3-5 billion/year and growing. ADAS-related lawsuits grew from 3 (2018) to 61 (2024).

Shop ROI

Shops currently pay $300-500 per outsourced calibration, 20+/month = $6,000-10,000/month in sublet costs. Or $250,000+ for in-house equipment. Kizuna lets them bring calibrations in-house at a fraction of the cost. ROI is measured in weeks, not years.

Competitive Position

No competitor combines AR spatial guidance, voice-first AI, real-time tolerance feedback, and automatic compliance documentation. Existing solutions are either $5,000-15,000 physical fixtures or remote technician services. Nobody has done this with a phone. Nobody.

Partnership Opportunity

Kizuna is purpose-built for Toyota/Lexus at launch — the world's largest automotive brand by volume. The platform is designed for OEM partnership: co-branded calibration tools, integrated service workflows, and direct access to the aftermarket through existing dealer and shop networks.
