This week on Autonomy Signals presented by KPMG, Grayson Brulte and Rob Grant discuss the latest Tesla FSD Supervised Cannonball Run record, seniors adopting FSD as a mobility preservation tool, and Baidu beginning robotaxi testing in London on both the Uber and Lyft networks.David Moss, Spencer and Owen Sparks drove a Tesla Model 3 running FSD Supervised 14.3.6 from the Red Ball Garage in New York City to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, California in a record-setting 47 hours, 15 minutes and 39 seconds without ever touching the wheel.While the young kids break Cannonball FSD Supervised records, older individuals are actively embracing FSD as a mobility preservation tool. With no AARP partnership and no marketing spend, word of mouth is pulling seniors into a $47 billion a year senior transportation market that remains underserved, creating a structurally high-retention customer for Tesla.As Tesla FSD adoption grows with seniors, Baidu launched supervised RT6 robotaxi trials in the London borough of Brent on both the Uber and Lyft networks, with Lyft utilizing FreeNow's existing Transport for London private hire operator license.Baidu's deployment in London is a regulatory choreography play, not a technology demonstration, with driverless commercial authorization targeted for 2027 remaining the single binary event that either validates or collapses Baidu's Western expansion thesis.Episode Chapters0:00 KPMG Sponsor Introduction01:30 Signal 1: Tesla FSD Supervised Cannonball Run Record26:23 Signal 2: Seniors are Embracing FSD51:47 Signal 3: Baidu Begins Robotaxi Testing in LondonFollow The Road to Autonomy Indices--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Drawing on decades of experience in psychiatric mental health and a wide range of health care settings, Maureen Rafa now runs her own business as an elder care coordinator. She also actively volunteers to improve coordinated care, build livable communities, and promote thoughtful end-of-life planning. In this conversation, she challenges common misconception about aging—from the fear of dementia to the expectation of simply “dying in one's sleep”—and urges older adults, especially women, to recognize and confront the “rampant ageism” embedded in our society. Maureen encourages women to become informed self-advocates and models that philosophy in her own life. At 72, she has downsized to an independent-living community, planned financially for future care, and remains intentional about avoiding isolation. “Always keep your female friends.” - Maureen Rafa Connect with MaureenEmail: maureenrafa10@gmail.comMaureen Rafa | LinkedInWomen Over 70 Welcomes our Platinum SponsorAARP Illinois is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they wish to live as they age.

Do you have enough? And how do you even know? In the third and final episode of HerMoney's series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, Jean Chatzky and her roundtable tackle the biggest question in personal finance — what does financial security actually feel like, and how do you build something that doesn't just sustain you, but actually gives you peace? Hannah Williams sold her business and walked away with a life-changing payout, and has never been more stressed.  Viviana Vazquez recently hit $100,000 in investments and says she already feels like she has enough.  Ashley Parker thinks about what would happen if she suddenly had to make it on her own, and making sure she always could.  And Carly Roszkowski shares the AARP data that keeps her up at night: 65% of women 50 and older don't feel confident about retirement, and nearly half of those still working have less than $50,000 saved. Jean also introduces a concept that changes everything: decumulation.  This is the third and final episode of From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, a three-part series in collaboration with AARP exploring women's financial lives across generations, from your first job to retirement and the legacy you leave behind. If you haven't listened to episodes one and two yet, go back and start there; this conversation builds on everything we've covered. Jean Chatzky's new book, The Forever Paycheck: The New Retirement Strategy to Spend More, Worry Less, and Never Run Out of Money, is available for pre-order now and publishes September 8, 2026.

What if aging could become a time of deeper meaning, connection, and personal transformation? Writer and baby boomer Abbie Rosner explores that possibility in her new book, Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging. Drawing on hundreds of clinical studies, authentic stories, and an overview of safe practices and the evolving legal landscape, she examines how psychedelics are being used to support the psychospiritual journey of becoming an elder. Abbie emphasizes that maturity matters: yesterday's risk-taking has evolved into today's thoughtful, intentional exploration. She invites us to consider whether a growing movement of conscious elders—committed to connection, compassion, healing, and purpose—might reshape how we think about aging. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or simply interested in new perspectives on aging, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at one of the most unexpected developments in later life.Connect with AbbieBook: Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging (Park Street Press.

Talk Justice explores American's desire to “age in place” amidst rising housing instability among seniors and how civil legal services can help.  An AARP expert and the Executuve Director of their affiliate, Legal Counsel for the Elderly (LCE), join to discuss.  AARP found that 75% of people 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities as they age, though 44% expect to move due to challenges like cost, accessibility and natural disasters. LCE helps seniors avoid evictions through social work and legal representation in Washington, D.C.

An estimated 56% of people turning 65 will need long-term care in their lifetime, according to the AARP. On average, much of the care is done by unpaid caregivers and friends helping with day-to-day activities. But a program in Washington is designed to help provide seniors to get the care they need.   WA Cares Fund is the first state-run program for long-term care insurance. It is funded by a mandatory surcharge on payroll taxes in Washington state. After contributing for 10 years, Washington residents qualify for benefits, which could be used for various services including: home care, transportation, adult day programs, home modifications and compensation for family caretakers.   Paula Span writes the New Old Age column for the New York Times and KFF News and wrote about this program, which started offering benefits this month. She joins us to share more on why this program is needed and the impact it could have.

Ohio just landed at number one on CNBC's 2026 list of the best states for business, the first time it has ever finished first. In this Ohio Edition of the Purple Political Breakdown, Radell Lewis follows the money and the power lines behind that ranking, and breaks down who is actually on your 2026 ballot in Ohio's 11th and 12th Congressional Districts. We get into Elon Musk's five million dollar check to V PAC: Victors, Not Victims, the super PAC backing Vivek Ramaswamy, and the billionaire donors behind its nearly forty two million dollar haul (Jeff Yass, Ratmir Timashev, Bill Ackman, and Ross Stevens). Plus Ramaswamy's twenty five million dollar loan to his own campaign, the Secretary of State flag on more than five hundred thousand dollars in unitemized spending, Amy Acton's small-dollar contrast, and Sherrod Brown breaking with the building trades to hit Jon Husted over data centers in the Senate race. Statehouse Watch covers the three hundred fourteen million dollars Ohio has made leasing public land to fracking, the new college syllabus rules under Senate Bill 1, the Medicaid anti-fraud law Senate Bill 315, and the Rooster case, where blogger D.J. Byrnes faces an October jury trial over an image texted to State Senator Jerry Cirino. County of the Week is Allen County and Lima, where Google's five hundred million dollar data center has neighbors up in arms. District Watch, so you know who you are voting for: Ohio 11 (Cleveland): incumbent Democrat Shontel Brown versus Republican Mike Kirchner, with independent Cortney Peterson also on the ballot. Ohio 12 (central and eastern Ohio): incumbent Republican Troy Balderson versus Democrat Jerrad Christian, a 2024 rematch. Plus the latest AARP poll showing tight Governor and Senate races, and Ohio's nation-leading drop in Affordable Care Act enrollment after enhanced subsidies expired.

Did your life turn out exactly the way you planned it? Nobody says yes. Not one person. In the second episode of HerMoney's three-part series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck,  Jean Chatzky gets personal, sharing that at 40, she was fired, got divorced, and lost her father all in the same year. And the women around the table don't hold back either. Ashley Parker reveals she was in the bottom 5% of earners on The New York Times politics team, and nearly doubled her salary the moment she left.  Hannah Williams shares the terrifying moment her veteran husband had a dental emergency with no insurance and no options. Viviana Vazquez opens up about being the financial safety net for her entire family, including a $10,000 out-of-pocket dental bill for her mom.  And Carly Roszkowski talks about her husband's mid-life career pivot, and what it really means to become the breadwinner. Together, they tackle the financial trade-offs that millions of women face every day — stepping back from work, carrying the mental load, navigating the sandwich generation, and trying to build a safety net when life keeps pulling the floor out from under you.

Cooling inflation, a stronger Social Security outlook, new retirement research and a surprising New York Times opinion piece all point to one conclusion: housing wealth is becoming one of the most important forces shaping retirement in America. This week on HECM World Weekly, Gabrielle Hayen breaks down the biggest stories affecting the reverse mortgage, mortgage, housing and retirement industries. This week's headlines include: Inflation cools, easing pressure on mortgage rates and reducing expectations of another Fed rate hike. • AARP projects one of the largest Social Security COLAs in years—but will it be enough? • New research finds nearly half of Americans don't expect to fully retire. • The Great Wealth Transfer is already underway, with families sharing wealth earlier than ever. • A major study reinforces the benefits of investing in aging in place. • And why a new New York Times opinion piece argues America's housing crisis is really a retirement crisis. Together, these stories highlight a broader trend: home equity and housing wealth are becoming increasingly central to retirement planning.

Visionary. Connector. Builder. Those words describe Katina Strauch, 79.When we spoke with Katina, she was recovering from a broken leg, talking with us from her bed on her smartphone. Despite the setback, she remains what she has always been: an active writer, researcher, lifelong learner, and trusted consultant to the Charleston Conference—the influential global gathering for the scholarly communications community that she founded more than four decades ago.What began as a meeting of just 20 people has grown into an annual conference that attracts thousands of academic librarians, publishers, booksellers, vendors, and information professionals from around the world. In the late 1970s, major research libraries had opportunities to meet through the Association of Research Libraries, but there was no place where smaller academic libraries, publishers, and vendors could come together as equals to exchange ideas and solve shared challenges. Katina recognized that gap and imagined something entirely new: an informal, collaborative conference where every voice mattered.At the time, she was on the tenure track and looking for a meaningful way to establish her professional reputation. Rather than pursuing a traditional academic path, she created a gathering that transformed an industry. By inviting antiquarian book librarians, publishers, vendors, and librarians into the same conversation, she built a community that continues to shape scholarly communication today.Reflecting on its impact, Katina simply says, "It's had a huge impact."The Charleston Conference recently entered a new chapter when it was acquired by the nonprofit Annual Reviews, helping ensure that Katina's remarkable legacy will continue for generations to come."Smaller academic libraries, publishers, and vendors now could come together as equals." - Katina StrauchConnect with Katina:Email: katina.strauch@gmail.comBook: Doing the Charleston (2025) – Katina's memoir chronicling the creation and evolution of the Charleston Conference alongside her career as a librarian.Thanking our Platinum Sponsor—AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

In this episode, we welcome back Rita Shula, Senior Director of Caregiving at the AARP Public Policy Institute, for an insightful discussion about the staggering economic and social impact of family caregiving in America. Rita shares the latest findings from the AARP's "Valuing the Invaluable" report, revealing that family caregivers in the U.S. provided 50 billion hours of unpaid care in 2024—equivalent to $1.01 trillion in economic value, surpassing even national healthcare and Medicaid spending.The conversation covers growing trends in caregiving, from the shifting demographics—including younger and sandwich-generation caregivers—to the expanding responsibilities shouldered by families as loved ones live longer and home-based care becomes the norm. Rita outlines key advocacy efforts for tax credits, financial relief, and workplace policies that would better support caregivers' unique challenges.This episode is a must-listen for anyone providing care, considering taking on a caregiving role, or seeking ways to support this essential, often invisible workforce.Visit: https://aarp.org/caregivingSeniorLivingGuide.com Podcast sponsored by LIVDRY & Terrabella Senior LivingThe background music is written, performed, and produced exclusively by purple-planet.com.https://www.purple-planet.com/*SeniorLivingGuide.com Webinars and Podcast represent the opinions and expertise of our guests.

There is a quiet danger in banking. You get very good at one thing, and you keep doing it right up until the market shifts under you. Barclays built one of the largest card businesses in the US without a single branch, reaching customers through trusted brands like JetBlue, AARP, and General Motors rather than its own name. Peter Gasparro, Chief Development Officer at Barclays US Consumer Bank, joins Jim Marous to talk through moving a model-line credit card company into deposits and lending, building around customer journeys rather than product silos, and the discipline of running just 22 partnerships rather than hundreds.

What if your next customer isn't a person, but an AI agent acting on their behalf? And what if that agent is evaluating your brand on a purely logical, data-driven basis, completely devoid of the emotional hooks your marketing has always relied on?Agility requires not just adapting to changing customer behaviors, but also redefining who—or what—our customer even is. It demands that we build operational and strategic frameworks that can cater to both human emotional drivers and the cold, hard logic of machines.Today, we are at Forrester CX in New York City, and we're going to talk about a fundamental shift in the customer journey: the rise of the AI agent as an influential, and in some cases, decision-making persona. This isn't just about using AI in our marketing; it's about marketing to AI. We'll explore what it means when our brand's message needs to be optimized not just for human perception, but for machine interpretation and evaluation.To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome Chuck Gahun, Principal Analyst at Forrester.
