AASP/NJ Virtual Meeting: ADAS: 2021 and Beyond

AASP/NJ to Present “ADAS: 2021 and Beyond” Virtual Meeting

The meeting, which will take place May 13 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom, will feature Jim DeLeo and Tom Kelley of Hunter Engineering Company.

The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) announced it will be presenting a virtual membership meeting, “ADAS: 2021 & Beyond,” on Thursday, May 13 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.

AASP/NJ will welcome Jim DeLeo, northeast division manager, and Tom Kelley, regional trainer of Hunter Engineering Company, who will provide an extensive overview of the following topics:

  • The purpose of ADAS
  • Types of systems
  • Passive versus active ADAS systems
  • Camera-based ADAS
  • Radar-based ADAS
  • Ultrasonic sensor-based ADAS
  • LIDAR
  • Sensor fusion (low-, middle- and high-level controls)
  • ADAS calibration requirements
  • Wheel alignment and ADAS calibrations
  • Solutions from Hunter Engineering

“As technology advances on automobiles, one needs to stay on top of things,” said Jerry McNee, president of AASP/NJ. “A clean scan doesn’t mean you have done your job. ADAS is here to stay, and I dare say that most have likely been improperly repairing vehicles. So, getting involved and paying attention to what is going on is key. I’ve heard many shops ask me, ‘I got a clear scan; why do I have to calibrate?’ If you are fixing cars, you are responsible for that vehicle when it leaves your facility, and your paperwork needs to reflect what you‘ve done. Whether you get paid for it or not is a different story, but these are the items that have to be addressed.

“AASP/NJ is working to bring the most current and relevant information available to our membership and get everybody to see what needs to be done. What they do with that information will make or break whether they are fixing cars correctly. You only know what you know. If you are fixing cars the way you always did without looking at the future, you can’t honestly say you are doing it right.”

This meeting is free to AASP/NJ members in good standing. To become a member, call Charles Bryant, executive director of AASP/NJ, at (732) 922-8909 or the AASP/NJ Administrative Office at (973) 667-6922. Members must pre-register in order to attend this event.

The Auto Care Association is applauding recent comments the FTC and DOJ made supporting renewal and expansion of exemptions facilitating consumers’ and businesses’ right to repair their own products.

"Auto Care Association supports the Joint Comment of the DOJ and the FTC encouraging the Librarian of Congress to renew and expand repair-related exemptions that would promote competition in markets for replacement parts, repair and maintenance services, as well as facilitate competition in markets for repairable products," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "In particular, on behalf of the entire automotive aftermarket, Auto Care Association agrees with the DOJ and the FTC that the Class 7 exemption to allow vehicle owners and repair facilities greater access to vehicle diagnostic and telematics data for monitoring purposes is critically important to lower the cost of repairs, improve access to repair services, and minimize costly and inconvenient delays."
