Spillover Effects ft. Dr. William J. Horrey of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety

Raising speed limits on highways could lead to more crashes on nearby roads, according to research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. This "Spillover Effect" creates unintended safety hazards for local communities that might not be involved in the decision-making process to raise the posted speed limit on a nearby highway. 
Dr. William J. Horrey, Technical Director for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, joins Carl for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. Dr. Horrey shares the Foundation's research on Spillover Effects, including how "Hot Spot" analyses can provide new insights for road safety. Meanwhile, Carl takes us back to rural Iowa and imagines how Spillover Effects might impact his former home.

AutoCulture 2.0 ft. Jan Griffiths of Gravitas Detroit

The automotive industry is experiencing a historic transformation at every level, from the manufacturing plant to the showroom. While new technologies will always push the boundaries of what is possible, do we believe the same about leadership? As a collective automotive industry that is accustomed to putting our faith in technology, do we believe cultural innovations deserve equal merit and footing?
Gravitas Detroit founder Jan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change. Whether on stage, walking the shop floor, or behind the microphone as the host of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, Jan has become the industry's most significant force for authentic leadership, a style of leadership that demolishes old silos and antiquated principals, building up trust and inspiration in their place.  
Jan joins AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony to discuss why she left her high-powered executive role, why a culture overhaul in automotive is necessary, and why having her daughter's support means everything to her.

Automation as a Key Enabler ft. Juergen Daunis of understand.ai

When it comes to next-generation ADAS innovations and higher levels of vehicle automation, an almost infinite number of images and point-cloud frames must be annotated in a way that is fast, affordable, and at scale. Time, cost, and quality factor into this process and are among the primary challenges when realizing ADAS and automated driving functions that require validation via high volumes of annotated data.    
Juergen Daunis, CEO of understand.ai, provides a more in-depth look at these challenges, how AI and machine learning play a role, and the importance of a CI/CD toolchain.

The Girl With a Toy Plane ft. Jayada Pandit of KPIT

Jayada Pandit loved being on the manufacturing floor at her father's company in India. As a young girl, well before university, her passion for engineering was ignited by her father's side as she would rush to the factory after school.

Today, Jayada is the Head of Marketing, Branding, and Thought Leadership Initiatives at KPIT Americas and oversees KPIT's Women in Mobility program.

Connected Car Study Reveals Features Buyers Will Trade Personal Data For

While consumers may not understand all the jargon, quirks, and idiosyncrasies of the automotive industry, their interests are piqued once they have a basic definition of a connected car and its potential benefits. However, that interest only extends so far, as consumers view certain connected car features and capabilities as more valuable than others.  
This realization is among the key findings in a body of research from Salesforce in partnership with YouGov, released in January 2024, that surveyed nearly 2,200 U.S. drivers aged 18 and over.
In this solo episode, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony summarizes the findings of this Salesforce study on connected cars and shares key insights from the survey on which features consumers will either pay more money or trade their personal data for.
