The Emerging Technologies Booth will feature three informational kiosks highlighting vehicle technology progression, what the latest technological developments mean for the consumer and what the aftermarket industry is doing about it today. The Auto Care Association, in partnership with Q-Free, Concepts & Services Consulting (CSC), Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), OnBoard Security and Coolfire Solutions, will provide a wide range of information on the technologies, including: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS); Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs); V2X; Automotive Embedded Systems and the Secure Vehicle Interface (SVI) through video demonstrations; live presentations; discussions; and more. Implementations of recently approved international standards that were sponsored by the association will be demonstrated, showing that direct, local access to vehicle data can be secure, safe and authorized by vehicle owners.

"In less than five years, 90% of new cars will be wirelessly transmitting real-time driver behavior and vehicle data," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "These advanced vehicle technologies will have a lasting influence on our industry, which means securing the authentication and standardization of accessing vehicle telematics will be vital to the aftermarket's ability to maintain and repair these vehicles down the road."

"The importance of being able to control your own vehicle's data cannot be stressed enough," said Joe Register, vice president, emerging technologies, Auto Care Association. "The development of technical solutions based on SVIstandardizing the safe, secure and direct exchange of vehicle datais ultimately what will give consumers lasting control over their data and their vehicles, allowing them to choose exactly which shop they want to have their vehicles serviced and repaired."

During the three-day AAPEX show, attendees can view live presentations given by industry experts on the association's current technology initiatives, including:
