Soon, the implementation of telematics technology will become commonplace, and the utilization of it could aid in obtaining fleet accounts. In fact, Driven Brands recently told FenderBender that part of the company's plan for obtaining fleet work will be through establishing a telematics system.

The goal of the proof of concept is to design seamless usage-based insurance (UBI) solutions for Mitsubishi drivers—an important topic covered in the June issue of FenderBender.

Jim Hackett’s appointment as CEO signals major changes for Ford in terms of telematics, connectivity and automation—all of which should be noted by the collision repair industry.
