he education of automotive recyclers, both new and seasoned ones, is becoming a necessity rather than a nicety. Advancements in technology are outpacing


curriculum in traditional schools for auto industry workers. Vehicle technology that was once thought of as Jetson- futuristic just a few short years ago is now either under development or already implemented in vehicles.


In the session about the digital age at the 72nd Annual ARA Convention in Charlotte last fall, speaker Tanvir Arfi, President of Service, Maintenance, Repair and Parts for Solera said, “Today’s vehicles have 360˚ cameras, 360˚ sensors, adaptive cruise control, lane changing sensors, and even OEM gateway technology which sends diagnostic information to repair shops before the car even arrives at the shop or before contact with the shop is even made from the vehicle owner.” He noted that at least two companies are already under way building self-driving vehicles. The land- scape of vehicle design is changing rapidly.
