TOYO SHARES ITS IMPRESSIONS OF THE 2021 AUTO TESTING EXPO IN NOVI
Zoom, Skype, and other conferencing tools kept us connected during the pandemic; but there is nothing like meeting your industrial friends, colleagues, and associates in person. The recent Auto Testing Expo that took place on October 26-28 in Novi, Michigan reminded us why we have live events.
Bo Han, Nick Sugawara, Tom McGrane, and Enri Nuraj attended and shared their impressions of the event. Bo remarked that “there were fewer attendees due to the pandemic, but we were still able to have some great conversations with many of the folks that dropped by.” Bo also explained, “that TOYO’s automotive OTA testing solutions were well-received as many saw these solutions as the future.”
Tom said, “EV-Electric Vehicles are quickly coming to the forefront of the automotive industry, and are becoming a heavy focus for automotive R&D. Torque levels are a big interest area as companies are electrifying passenger cars up to heavy-duty trucks; and are constantly needing more torque.” He continued, “OTA Autonomous vehicles are slowly working their way into development, and companies are investing lots of money into Connected Autonomous Vehicles research without properly defined validation plans yet.”
Nick thought “that in a post-pandemic world, it was a good event that allowed us to reunite many customers, partners, and friends.”
And Enri remarked, “OTA is a relatively new technology, and TOYO is one of the first test and measurement companies to introduce this technology to the industry. Autonomous vehicles are still in the early stages, and it will take a little time for the infrastructure and the technology to be in sync with each other. But this is the future.”
Thanks to our TOYO colleagues who provided insights and thoughts on the show. Now it is your turn to share your impressions of the event if you were in attendance. Drop us a line and let us know. info@toyotechus.com.
