  "account": "A study by German testing organizations TÜV, Dekra, and others has found that advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in modern cars are not as reliable as expected, with faulty systems common on the roads and often going undetected. The study, which also involved FSD Fahrzeugsystemdaten GmbH in Dresden, found that errors can occur due to damage, aging, and wear and tear, as well as poor repairs or calibration. Many drivers are not having faulty sensors and cameras repaired due to cost, and current inspections often do not detect safety-related issues. The experts are calling for the vehicle inspection process (Hauptuntersuchung) to be reformed to better detect ADAS faults.",
  "summary": "Assistance systems are supposed to save lives, but for this to happen, they must function reliably. However, errors often remain undetected, a new study by TÜV and Dekra shows.",
  "key_points": [
    "Up to 90% of traffic accidents due to human error",
    "ADAS systems malfunction in many vehicles",
    "Reform of main inspection demanded for digital data access"
