1. Dr. Metz has presented various invited vehicle dynamics and racing seminars (ranging in duration from one hour to three days) at General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Daimler-Chrysler Corporation, as well as to engineers from these three companies, and engineers from Nissan, Honda, Porsche, Ferrari, Nissan, Toyota and Hyundai. He has also presented similar seminars to suppliers and their personnel, both OEM and aftermarket, including Continental General Tire Co., Hays-Lemmerz, Freightliner, Teves, Borg-Warner, TRW and many, many others. For a number of these companies, Dr. Metz is a retained expert in accident reconstruction and vehicle dynamics.

2. Dr. Metz has also presented various invited accident reconstruction seminars for Engineering Dynamics Corporation, makers of the HVE (Human-Vehicle-Environment) software/hardware package for accident reconstruction, simulation and visualization. This is the most widely used accident reconstruction software in the World, and is employed by essentially all major manufacturers, the National Transportation Research Board, etc.
