Who's buying EVs right now? And more importantly, who's most likely to buy them in the near future? This is a question that OEs and repair operations want answered, and one researcher has some insight.
The program director for Michigan Tech's Hybrid Electric Vehicle curriculum talks about launching a unique program and the state of the hybrid-to-EV transition.
The goal of connected, autonomous transportation looms out there, but there are lots of processes that need to be worked out before getting there, such as making sure systems can determine the cause of a traffic jam.
Just as important as knowing how to properly calibrate an ADAS system is knowing how to fix a calibration cluster-whoops. Check out these troubleshooting tips from I-CAR.
There are many implications for ADAS in modified vehicles, and groups are now working on processes and testing protocols that will ensure safe ADAS systems can work and be replicated by repairers.
The ability of repairers to properly calibrate and repair these systems is a critical link in the operation of ADAS. A new report shows the efficacy of various ADAS systems when functioning as intended.
As we learn more about the sensitivities of these sensor systems, it becomes clear that there's more to ADAS calibrations than just square footage. It's about the space environment.
How might the style of data transmission from a connected vehicle affect the effectiveness of a telematics-based insurance plan? One company is working on a solution.
Companies like Daimler are experimenting with a blockchain-enabled car wallet. As ADAPT dives into all things data this month, revisit this cutting-edge idea that first appeared in a March article.
When you get to thinking about all the organizations, public agencies and government jurisdictions involved in bringing about an autonomous vehicle future, the list gets very long.
A representative from RoboSense, a developer of LiDAR vehicle systems, talks to ADAPT about how the technology is evolving, as well as how autonomous vehicles have already been assisting in social distancing guidelines.
When it comes to consumer data privacy, OEMs are looking to get ahead of potential regulation. See what foundations that an automaker consortium has developed.
While fleets are rolling out telematics systems to better predict maintenance issues, what might that look like for everyday, light-duty vehicles? ADAPT asked one company behind the tech.
As ADAS becomes more prevalent, it won’t just be collision shops working on those components. The work of aftermarket modifiers to change vehicles while maintaining ADAS specs offers insight into how these systems are calibrated.
In an online presentation organized by SEMA, aftermarket stakeholders addressed the challenges, headaches and potential solutions to make ADAS repairs simpler for independent shops and modifiers.
Ben Cruz, director of the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology at Macomb Community College, describes how the slower mechanical changes in vehicles of the past are now rapid electronic changes that have the same big impact.
From an article in National Oil and Lube News: Telematics are a huge topic (and subject of a big debate) in the automotive industry. Get the background here on how it got to this point.
