Laser etching is something that I have never seen until today. It is crazy that we have the technology to use lasers for things like this business card holder. I am excited to see how the industry will integrate this more and more. #InternYazaki #CARMBS

Getting to see the future of AV here at CAR MBS. From the logistics to the possible liabilities. They even predicted that by 2030 you would be able to get an AV RV and travel across the country hands free! #CoOpyazaki #carmbs #yazakicarmbs

Something I found interesting today was how fast electric vehicles are changing and becoming more common. Volkswagen is investing billions of dollars into electrification of vehicles and working towards making batteries recyclable and reducing the company’s carbon footprint. #internyazaki #carmbs

Governor Whitmer had the opportunity to speak this morning at CARMBS and what really caught my attention was she said by 2026 they project there will be 545,000 new jobs in the tech and auto industry in Michigan. That is a massive number and it shows that the future is extremely bright in our state. #InternYazaki
