I've been repairing Volkswagen cars for ten years, and the relationship between ODIS and 5054 is quite interesting. The 5054 is essentially a hardware box, functioning like a USB interface for the car—plug it into the OBD port to communicate with the computer. ODIS, on the other hand, is a comprehensive software system running on the computer, capable of directly diagnosing core components like the engine and transmission, as well as performing online programming updates. In practice, they must be used together: the 5054 handles the physical connection, while ODIS performs the intelligent diagnostics. The new 5054B, a silver box with buttons, is twice as fast as the older 5054A, which is especially noticeable when diagnosing newer ID electric vehicles.

Will the color blindness and color weakness restrictions for driver's licenses be abolished in 2020?

In 2020, the restrictions on color blindness and color weakness for driver's licenses were not abolished. The 2020 regulations did not modify the requirements for color blindness and color weakness in obtaining a driver's license. The regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses clearly stipulate that applicants must not have red-green color blindness as part of their physical condition. Other types of color blindness or color weakness may pass the medical examination. Color blindness refers to the inability to distinguish certain colors or all colors, with red-green color blindness being the most common. Since individuals with red-green color blindness cannot distinguish between red and green lights, they are likely to make mistakes when identifying traffic signals. This is why individuals with red-green color blindness are not allowed to obtain a driver's license. Color weakness, on the other hand, refers to a reduced ability to distinguish colors. Although individuals with color weakness can see the same colors as normal people, their ability to identify colors is relatively poor.

How to Determine the Distance Between the Front of the Car and an Obstacle?

Methods to determine the distance between the front of the car and an obstacle: When judging the position of the front of the car, find a reference point, such as the rearview mirror. For most private cars, unless the body is too short or too long, the lower edge of the rearview mirror should align with the edge of a short wall or the line in front of a parking space. If the obstacle is another car, focus on the bumper of the vehicle in front. The rear end of a sedan is generally about 42 cm from the ground. When you see the lower edge of the front car's tire, the distance between the front car and yours is approximately 4.6 meters. If you see the lower edge of the front car's bumper, the distance is about 2.5 meters. When you see the upper edge of the front car's bumper, the distance is around 0.8 to 1 meter.
