Good morning, {{firstName}}.

This week I watched two things collide: Congress pushing for ADAS integrity standards through the Functionality Act, and OEMs shipping hands-free driving updates to customers who may not have been calibrated to spec. That gap is widening.

FIELD

1. OEMs shipping autonomous tech faster than calibration standards lock in

Lucid and BMW both announced hands-free driving rollouts via OTA update this week. Meanwhile, Rep. Harshbarger is co-chairing a push to pass the ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act. The timing matters: shops are seeing more denials because OEM requirements are moving faster than industry calibration benchmarks. Carriers want proof of OEM-cited compliance. Most shops are still guessing.

DM me 'audit' on LinkedIn. I'll review your last 3 denied calibrations and write the OEM-cited justification that flips them. Free. No pitch.

📬 Hit reply. Reply: which carrier denied your last ADAS claim citing "no OEM requirement" and what vehicle was it?

📤 Know a shop that should read this?

One forward could save them three hours of denial fights this month.
