The agenda has been set for the 2011 Auto Finance Summit, the industry’s premier event, with a particular focus on growth amid heightened competition.
Now in its 11th year, the Auto Finance Summit — sponsored, in part, by AutoFinanceNews.net — draws the entire automotive lending and leasing community for meaningful discussion and debate on the future of the industry. This year’s conference will take place Oct. 26-27 in Las Vegas.
With the marketplace quickly evolving, the Summit will include sessions on regulatory compliance in the age of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, advanced technologies for tomorrow’s auto finance, and how to make the auto finance experience better for consumers. AFS 2011 will also contain sessions focused on direct lending, leasing, and nonprime finance.

Mark — I agree with you in principle, but I think that nobody takes out an auto loan with the expectation of defaulting on it. So I can see a lot of “That’s not cool that they want to do that, but I’m not going to miss any payments so it won’t happen to me,” conversations at the financing table. I also think that its normal for there to be pluses and minuses to these kinds of systems. The plus? An ambulance is dispatched to my location if I’m in an accident. The minus? The lender knows where I am at all times and can use that to their advantage.
Gino – I meant to imply that GM could disable the vehicle or use OnStar to locate it and report the position to a recovery agent.
