Why is vehicle titling and registration so complicated?

While that’s a common question, to Tony Hall and Shane Bigelow the better question is: How can we make it simpler?

Hall, Carvana’s head of policy, title and registration modernization, and Bigelow, CEO of CHAMP Titles, are both affiliated with the eSTART Coalition, a consortium of auto industry vendors, associations and other stakeholders that seeks to modernize title and registration processes by facilitating advocacy of electronic titling nationwide.

They joined Auto Remarketing Podcast host Andrew Friedlander during Used Car Week 2024 in Scottsdale, Ariz., to discuss the present and future of e-titling, including the current state of the technology, the pace of adoption by state governments, the progress being made and eSTART’s role in moving that progress forward.
