How Computerized Cars Have Changed Auto Repair in Today’s World

AutoTech IQ

In the not-so-distant past, all auto technicians needed was a good understanding of a car’s engine. They would listen to and feel the car’s engine, and most often, they could diagnose and fix a problem. But today’s cars are more complex, and the average technician has to rely on diagnostic and test equipment to understand what’s going on under the hood. Today’s cars have hundreds or even thousands of computer chips that are all controlled by software. Cars have evolved so much that some people believe that in the near future, an increasing number of cars will be powered by self-driving software. Trends Computerized Cars Are Setting Remember when automatic car windows replaced the roll-up model? Auto technicians all over the world had to switch from a mindset of fixing a busted manual knob to fixing one that is not only driven by a motor but also controlled by a computer. As cars become more computerized, auto repair shops have to stay current on more technology. High-Tech Features Mean Specialists Are Needed for Repairs In today’s auto repair world, technicians have to use complex diagnose and test equipment instead of focusing on just replacing fluids and car parts. That’s because cars aren’t so much mechanical machines anymore. Instead, they are often thought of as computers on wheels. Gone are the days when people could work on their own cars. Today, specialized software is needed to find the glitch in the car’s system before it can be repaired. Complicated Network Systems Are More Interconnected Than Ever Before The cars of yesterday had individual, mechanical working parts that, together, made them run. But today’s cars are interconnected in ways that old-school technicians could never imagine. Vehicles today utilize advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and their computers are extremely complex, yet they all communicate seamlessly with each other. For instance, Tesla’s onboard AI chip is smarter than the US Air Force’s F-35 fight jet and is packed with 150 million times more computer power. Because of the technological advances in vehicles, it’s extremely important for technicians to have a thorough understanding of how to properly calibrate the systems so drivers remain safe on the road. Costs Are Rising Because of the Complexity of High-Tech Vehicles Because of the complexity of computerized cars, the number of visits to auto repair shops has radically decreased but the cost per visit is going up and changing the way auto shops do business. For instance, car owners sporting European models can’t just go to any repair shop, they need technicians who specialize in their make and model of vehicle. This makes car repairs on a budget a thing of the past. The increased need for specialized equipment and technicians has driven up the cost of running a shop, and as cars continue to become more computerized, that isn’t likely to change. Auto shops also have to have specialized equipment to help diagnose issues. If these shops don’t specialize in one vehicle make and if they don’t have the equipment, they will hire diagnosticians who will help diagnose the issues. This also drives up the cost of doing business. Why Digital Inspections Are Essential for Computerized Car Owners Because cars are so complex and rely on computers, service intervals have increased dramatically. The frequency of shop visits is going down which requires tracking the vital sign of your vehicle regularly. What you know from your doctor’s visit is also true for your vehicle. Digital inspections are the tool to track the car’s vital signs. They allow technicians to check the car's computer system and overall health and pinpoint the source of a potential problem. When a service advisor emails a customer a digital report that outlines the problem and details the optimal fix, it instills a sense of trust in consumers because of images and videos educating the customer plus recommendations giving the customers options. Gone are the days when consumers are pressured into making a decision on the phone without understanding the true nature of the problem. Digital inspections eliminate the risk of paying for an unnecessary repair. Instead, these inspections pinpoint the problem and educate the customer about options on how to fix it. How To Find an Auto Repair Shop You Can Trust Are you ready to have more of a partnership with your auto repair shop rather than having to trust a phone call without any real evidence? If so, AutoTechIQ can help. AutoTechIQ connects you with an auto repair shop in your area that focuses on your education about the best options based on Digital Vehicle Health Inspection results. This allows you to work with shops to find the best (and most long-term economical) solution when your car needs repair. It also ensures that your shop is held accountable and does not suggest repairs that are not needed. To find an auto repair shop that makes use of this technology, use the Shops Near You function on AutoTechIQ’s website and schedule an appointment with an auto shop that wants to earn your trust.

Have You Noticed How Your Auto Repair Shop Has Changed?

AutoTech IQ

Just a few decades ago, the vast majority of cars had mechanically controlled engines and transmissions, anti-lock braking systems (ABS) were a brand-new thing, and everything was gas or, to a much lesser degree, diesel-powered. The best fuel efficiency for an affordable car was 18 miles per gallon (mpg), and the best-selling cars were Honda Accord, Ford Taurus and Chevrolet Cavalier. Once a vehicle was out of warranty, most car owners would take it to an independent auto repair shop. The leading factors for choosing a shop were the distance to the client's home or work, customer service quality and service price compared with a dealership. Since then, much has changed, but some has not. Today, car owners still take their vehicles to independent auto repair shops for the same reasons. But the technology built into cars has changed dramatically. Much of the operations are computerized, creating a fuel efficiency of 35 mpg and higher for cars that are not hybrid or electric. That technology shift created new challenges and opportunities for independent auto repair shops, changing many aspects of their business. Challenges and Opportunities for Independent Auto Repair Shops Because of the complexity of computerized cars, tools in auto repair shops now include diagnostic devices with ever-increasing depth giving technicians the ability to pinpoint the cause of a problem. And just like your home computer prompts you to update its software applications, modern cars’ software can be updated. Because dozens of complex computers in a car interact with each other, they require trained staff and authorized programming tools. Some dealerships imply that only factory-trained techs lay hands on the complex cars they service, but independent auto repair shops with a built-in training program aren’t lagging behind them. The digital transformation is in full swing for car technology and auto shop service advisers are improving communications with on-the-go car owners. That communication isn't restricted to appointment scheduling by text or email. Advisers can educate their customers without having them on the phone or at the counter. The perfect example is sending a state-of-health report to car owners illustrating, with edited images and videos, what work needs to happen now and what can wait. Why is Digital Transformation a Game Changer? The ease of use has made digital tools such as smartphones, desktop computers and tablets the dominant way to communicate. The ability to send information without interrupting the recipient at home or work takes the stress out of many interactions that could otherwise lead to a loss of focus, productivity and control. The ability to digest information on the recipients' schedule gives them control and creates a sense of empowerment to make confident decisions based on the options at hand. For example, the customer can ask questions digitally and get second opinions before approving work. Before contacting the shop, AutoTechIQ.com offers vehicle owners the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the symptoms the car is exhibiting. Articles like “ My Car Smells Like Burning Rubber ” offer a simple three-step path to: Confirm the symptom Add info for the shop with a simple click Request an appointment at an AutoTechIQ-certified shop You don't need a ride after dropping off your vehicle at the auto shop in the morning. Instead, an assigned employee picks it up and drops it off at your home or work after it’s repaired. You can schedule everything through text messages or with a digital app on your phone that will provide status notifications about the repair progress throughout the day. Instead of interruptions at work, you receive a link to your vehicle's state-of-health report. Then, you can study it on your timeline and ask questions before approving the proposed work — all through texts or chat messages. Increased Level of Professionalism Have you noticed that many shops don’t fly by the seat of their pants anymore? Today’s successful auto repair shops are professional businesses focusing on you — the customer — for the lifetime of your vehicle and beyond. Car repair and maintenance businesses have transitioned to professionally run establishments focused on the education and longevity of their customers’ vehicles instead of the transactional business model of repairing the issue at hand. Seasoned shop owners realize that they can replicate their customer service in other locations and establish a multilocation business providing consistent, high-quality service across the same area. Companies like Transformer Institute help shop owners — especially multilocation owners — seize the opportunity of providing higher-quality service to car owners, exceeding what wrenching technicians typically offer.

Multipolar Development Corporation Early Modeling Success Paving Way for New Direct Current Electric Machine Prototype

Multipolar Development Corporation

Multipolar Development Corporation (MDC) an electrical engineering company announced a key design milestone in the development of its novel Multi-Polar Technology™ electric vehicle (EV) propulsion enhancement system. Models are proving that MDC’s patented technology will improve efficiencies in overall performance and range of operation, particularly in large consumer vehicle trucks and commercial transport vehicles. MDC engineers and partners are completing a finite element method (FEM) model for a 10 kW 2 kV prototype direct current (DC) electric machine that demonstrates the ability to operate at higher DC voltages and without the need for a commutator. “Multi-Polar represents one of the single greatest incremental improvements in motor technology I have seen in more than 25 years,” stated engineering expert and MDC team member Arie Hirshbein, “I am thrilled and excited to be part of the development team at this early stage.” “The machine analyzed could be operated like a one-phase brushless machine, providing an advantage in control that could provide flexibility at different operating points of the motor. Without a need for rare earth permanent magnets, Multipolar technology provides a huge advantage in the performance of the motor and avoids supply chain and environmental issues associated with permanent magnets currently utilized,” Hirshbein continued. “Since the failure and maintenance of commutators have made higher power of DC electric machines impractical, the success of our model bodes well for its future in an industrial setting,” stated Multipolar inventor Shaun McCutcheon. “The Multi-Polar design is expected to allow high motor torque performance, including a high starting torque, making it suitable for heavy industrial applications and large electric vehicles (EV’s).” “The modeling is paving the way for us to demonstrate and prove the gains in overall system efficiency that our technology achieves through a physical prototype. We are designing a prototype based on the current computer models and showcasing the significant practical use of the technology,” McCutcheon continued. MDC technology modeling employs an advanced software and firmware-based control system that adjusts the polarity and the magnetic field strength of each electromagnetic pole within an electric motor or generator to achieve the desired operation. The control system relies on sensor data about the position and speed of the rotor to optimize pole parameters in real-time to enhance performance. The FEM model simulates 42 and 78 poles within a rotating machine and provides a numerical solution for the electromagnetic fields and relevant voltages. Recent simulations achieved rectification of generator output exceeding 2000 V DC at speed with no brushes or commutator in the model, resulting in a significant proof of concept for the design. Multi-Polar motors will require fewer external drive components as the speed and torque are managed directly by the advanced control system. Unlike standard DC brushless machines, they will require only two power connections. The wide range of operational speeds at full power – owing to the ability to change the number of poles virtually – will allow MDC’s machines to be repurposed through software and firmware changes rather than being replaced or redesigned. The advanced control system will also be able to compensate for efficiency losses due to mechanical imperfections or damage. “Multipolar moves us into a truly digital machine age – an advanced machine without many of the inherent inefficiencies and limitations of classic electromagnetic energy conversion,” McCutcheon explained. “The modeling proves our technology has the potential to shock the EV industry and advance it to a new level of efficiency and performance.” Multipolar Development Corporation is an Austin, TX-based S-Corp comprised of energy, electric, and automotive engineering experts. ### Please visit: https://www.multipolarmachine.com/ For more information or to schedule an interview with Shaun McCutcheon, please contact Dan Rene of kglobal, at daniel.rene@kglobal.com or 202-329-8357 Contact Details kglobal Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 daniel.rene@kglobal.com Company Website https://www.multipolarmachine.com/

Travel Technology Association Files Comments with U.S. Department of Transportation on Airline Ticket Refunds and Consumer Protections

Travel Tech

The Travel Technology Association (Travel Tech), the voice of the travel technology industry and a consistent advocate for public policy that supports a competitive and transparent marketplace, filed comments today in response to the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on “Airline Ticket Refunds and Consumer Protections,” – Docket No. DOT-OST-2022-0089. "On behalf of consumers and our member companies that serve them, the Travel Technology Association is proud to stand with the U.S. Department of Transportation in assuring once and for all that airline travelers are made whole when their flights are canceled,” said Travel Tech President and CEO Laura Chadwick. “You get what you pay for, and when you don't, you should get your money back." "We welcome the Department's decision to define what constitutes a ‘canceled flight’ and ‘significant change to flight itinerary.’ These definitions will bring much-needed uniformity and clarity to what have been fraught and stressful experiences for travelers facing weather or airline staffing issues," Chadwick continued. "Great customer service, whether before, during, or after a trip, is key to the value Travel Tech members offer. These definitions will help online travel agents better support their customers navigating frustrating flight cancellations and the labyrinth of airline customer service systems." The Travel Technology Association’s full comments may be viewed at: https://www.traveltech.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Comments-of-The-Travel-Technology-Association.pdf In its comments, the Travel Technology Association explains that ticket agents are already bound to issue refunds “promptly” after airlines provide the authorization and funds to do so. In its draft rule, the Department proposes that customers receive refunds within seven days. However, it takes up to eleven days to secure refunds from airlines' payment and refund systems. "To require refunds before the funds are returned by the airline – as the proposed rule currently demands – would impose an undue financial burden and risk on ticket agents. We encourage the Department to revise this part of its proposal to reflect that airlines’ payment and refund systems are beyond the control of ticket agents.” ### About Travel Tech The Travel Technology Association (Travel Tech) is the voice of the travel technology industry, advocating for public policy that promotes transparency and competition in the marketplace to encourage innovation and preserve consumer choice. Travel Tech represents the leading innovators in travel technology, including global distribution systems, online travel agencies and metasearch companies, travel management companies, and short-term rental platforms.

TickTrader: How the ever-relevant trading platform was developed

Benzinga

The removal of MetaTrader 4 and 5 apps from the App Store, along with the fact that MetaQuotes has put on hold accepting applications for white-label solutions for MT4 and MT5 trading platforms, reminds us how volatile the field of Forex trading technology can be. Therefore, we deem it necessary to remind our followers of the factors that come into play when we develop a white-label technology to launch a Forex broker. One such example is our TickTrader trading platform, which allows brokers to issue white-label licenses — and place their own trading applications in the App Store and Google Play sans restrictions. Flexible range of functions Regardless of the type of audience we are addressing; our trading platform should be able to meet the needs of both novice and experienced users. Newcomers may not plan to use custom alerts or create their own EA yet, but what if they do in the future? By identifying these needs in advance, we can greatly improve our chances of keeping old customers and attracting new ones with the growth of our business. Advanced users will appreciate features such as one/double-click trading mode (perfect for analyzing fast-moving markets), advanced trading alerts with the ability to bind on the server side (so client activity is not tied to the state of trading applications), or detailed charts with the options to draw, view volumes, trades, and set alerts. Choosing a trading account that best suits one’s needs Clients should be able to select the account type that best suits their needs based on the currencies they want to trade, the instruments, the initial deposit, the brokerage bonus offer, etc. With the TickTrader trading platform, one can open both margin accounts (leveraged) and spot exchange accounts (cash), with margin accounts subdivided into gross and net. Advanced order types It would be useful if advanced orders were offered in addition to the usual order types (market and pending orders, including Stop, Limit, and Stop Limit orders), allowing experienced traders to develop more complex trading strategies. In addition to complex orders such as Good Till Cancel or Hidden, the TickTrader Trading Platform also allows the creation of order strategies such as Ladder or OTA (One Triggers Another). As a result, users will be able to adapt to different market conditions much more easily. Slippage control To avoid or reduce slippage, it is desirable to apply a slippage control function. For the TickTrader trading platform, Slippage control implies the following operating principle: the Slippage control value is added to the price of the client's market order, then an IOC (Immediate or Cancel) order is placed. The liquidity provider commits to execute this limit order at the available prices, but not below the limit order price. A terminal for each platform With multi-language web, desktop, and mobile terminals, our clients may select the most effective manner to use our services. Four different types of client terminals, each with a specialized set of features created for a specific context, are available through the TickTrader trading platform. The TickTrader desktop terminal offers access to both low-latency marginal trading and exchange of FX and Crypto products, as well as high-end features. With the TickTrader Web Terminal, one can access TickTrader from anywhere with only a computer and an internet connection. Last but not least, the TickTrader mobile terminal (available for iOS and Android) offers convenient 24/7 access to mobile Forex and exchange trading through the Internet. A comprehensive API kit The TickTrader trading server's application programming interfaces kit enables developers to build specialized trading tools and interfaces for use with no-terminal trading. The Web REST API, Sockets API, FIX API, SFX, and Manager API are all included in the TickTrader trading platform API kit. Among other functions, the TickTrader’s API kit allows users to receive detailed information about financial instruments, user accounts, and trading operations, and connect securely to the TickTrader Server to get information about quote flows (currencies, symbols). Business side features We have discussed the advantages that the trading platform may offer to the end user above, but we must remember, nevertheless, that there are many helpful features hidden inside that will make the lives of administrators much easier. We will examine the modules built as a part of the TickTrader trading platform administrative architecture because every software supplier approaches this problem differently. Sublicensing Customers that use the TickTrader Trading Platform as part of a white-label solution may now provide sublicensing services. As soon as the solution is implemented, the sublicensing system is immediately usable and relatively straightforward. As part of the contract with Soft-FX, the software buyer is entitled to supply a sub-license and possibly boost their earnings through increased trading volumes and extra commissions. Algo-Studio The protocols included in TickTrader Algo Studio enable the creation and operation of algorithmic trading systems. It has pre-installed market-maker algorithms that provide administrators the power to control price flow, liquidity, and pricing guidelines for any token or derivative product. A collection of trading bots and pre-built algorithmic trading systems are also included in the TickTrader trading platform software package, which also offers the option to import and convert strategies from MT4 and MT5 for usage in TickTrader in the future. Stock Events Module This module enables tailoring stock operations on the trading platform in accordance with corporate events that take place at a specific period. Any move that significantly alters a stock-issuing corporation and affects its stakeholders is referred to as a corporate action. Corporate activities include things like dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, and spinoffs, all of which can demand a lot of processing time and resources in the absence of automation. For instance, stock splits may cause significant gaps to appear on the chart, giving the appearance of a sudden price decline. Technical indicators would provide false sale signals based on the chart. A technique to prevent such situations is the TickTrader Stock Events module. By removing any gaps left behind after occurrences like splits, dividends, and mergers and acquisitions, this functionality enables us to change data and make our platform as adaptable as feasible. Liquidity Aggregation The TickTrader trading platform may be set up to produce market depth feed and enhance liquidity flow diversity. Utilizing a strong matching engine, for instance, enables customers to create internal liquidity and operate as both price givers and takers of prices. This implies that we will be able to contribute our clients' orders to the market depth in addition to the liquidity from external providers. This can greatly lower the costs associated with the fees paid to the liquidity providers. Expanded alternatives for risk management provide a hybrid A-book/B-book paradigm that is implemented through a trading multiplier system, allowing for the assignment of a trading multiplier to each trading account on the platform. The multiplier's value affects how much of the proposed trading volume is sent to the outside market, allowing us to manage successful clients in accordance with current company goals. Admin Console TickTrader has a comfortable administrative console. The workflow and user interface were created with an emphasis on the possibility of completely varied experiences among the employees who will utilize this capability. For example: dealing department workers who have prior expertise utilizing the admin and manager components of MT4 and MT5 should find it quite simple to grasp the TickTrader admin panel. In conclusion We hope that the details above have helped you get a clearer idea of how a dependable white-label trading platform's functionality is designed and executed.
