AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports Tesla is facing federal scrutiny.

Ralph welcomes fellow auto safety advocate, Jackie Gillan, past President of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a coalition working together to reduce motor vehicle crashes, save lives and prevent injuries. Then, Ralph outlines the latest issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen and responds to your feedback from recent programs.Jackie Gillan is past President of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a coalition working together to reduce motor vehicle crashes, save lives and prevent injuries through the adoption of federal and state laws, policies and programs. Ms. Gillan has held senior policy positions for three state transportation agencies, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Senate.Biden talks about peace and humanitarian aid and a two-state solution, but his deeds are to send endless supplies of weapons of mass destruction—including weapons that are used in sheer, total violation of the Geneva Conventions and international law…He appears weak to more and more Americans, and he may well pay that price on November 5th to the horror of a Trump presidency. This is how far he goes in his obeisance to the right wing, violent, genocidal political coalition that has hijacked the Israeli society.Ralph NaderNearly every single safety standard on your car has our fingerprints on it and battle scars for the staff fighting in Congress and in the agencies to try to get those [auto safety] rulemakings finished.Jackie GillanAt the time in 1988, there were 47,000 highway deaths and I think everyone was quickly realizing that slick slogans and public education programs were not going to bring down deaths and injuries—so they brought advocates together.Jackie GillanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 6/12/241. The New York Times reports that since last year, Israel has been running an “influence campaign” targeting Black lawmakers in the United States. This project, overseen by Israel's Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, consists of a crude network of fake social media accounts that post “pro-Israel comments…urging [Black Democrats like Senator Raphael Warnock, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Representative Ritchie Torres] to continue funding Israel's military.” This project was active on Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram, and utilized OpenAI's ChatGPT, until both companies disrupted the operation earlier this year. The operation is still active on X, formerly Twitter.2. Mondoweiss reports that Israel has been torturing Palestinian prisoners, aided by the complicity of Israeli physicians. According to the report, “prisoners are being viciously beaten and abused multiple times a day, caged in cells ‘not fit for human life,' kept blindfolded with their hands bound with plastic ties, isolated from the outside world, stripped of their clothing, collectively punished through starvation, attacked by dogs, sexually assaulted, and psychologically tortured.” As for the doctors, “Israeli physicians collaborate with Shin Bet interrogators [Israel's equivalent of the FBI] to ‘certify'… that [prisoners]… are ‘fit' to undergo torture. Throughout the duration of interrogation, a physician provides a ‘green light' that torture can continue…look for physical and psychological weaknesses to exploit…[and] falsify or refrain from documenting the physical and psychological effects of torture on a detainee's body and mind.” Meanwhile, for all the talk of Hamas brutality, Israeli news anchor Lama Tatour was fired for commenting that recently released hostage Noa Argamani looked remarkably healthy, saying “Look at her eyebrows, they look better than mine??” per Business Insider.3. The United Nations Security Council has, for the first time, overwhelmingly passed a Gaza ceasefire resolution, backed by the United States. Reuters reports “senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri…said [Hamas has] accepted the ceasefire resolution and [is] ready to negotiate over the specifics.” Yet, according to CNN, “Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won't engage in ‘meaningless' negotiations with Hamas.” As the CNN piece notes, “The resolution says Israel has accepted the plan, and US officials have repeatedly emphasized Israel had agreed to the proposal – despite other public comments from Netanyahu that suggest otherwise.” If the Israelis ultimately do not accept this ceasefire proposal, this would become yet another major embarrassment for the Biden administration.4. POLITICO reports “AIPAC [is] the biggest source of Republican money flowing into competitive Democratic primaries this year…spending millions to boost moderates over progressives who have been critical of Israel.” This piece quotes Eric Levine, a board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition who has donated to Rep. Ritchie Torres as saying “Under the William F. Buckley rule of politics, I want to support the most conservative person who can win.” On the other hand, Beth Miller – political director at Jewish Voice for Peace Action – sees this as the lobby showing its true colors, telling the paper “AIPAC can't actually claim that they represent Democrats and Republicans in the same way. That veneer of bipartisanship is gone.”5. The NAACP, among the leading African-American Civil Rights group in the country, has called on the Biden administration to “Stop Shipments of Weapons Targeting Civilians to Israel [and] Push for Ceasefire.” In a statement, NAACP President Derrick Johnson wrote “The current state of Gaza and the latest bombing of Rafah complicates an already dire humanitarian crisis.  Relief workers have also been killed while attempting to administer aid and support to the people of Gaza. The NAACP strongly condemns these actions and calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.” Data from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace shows 68% of Black Americans favor an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza” and 59% believe “U.S. military aid to Israel should be conditioned to ensure that Israel uses American weapons for legitimate self-defense and in a way that is consistent with human rights standards.”6. Yet the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza has not stopped censorship of pro-Palestine speech in the U.S. Democracy Now! reports outspoken progressive commentator and former Bernie Sanders presidential campaign press secretary Briahna Joy Gray has been fired from the Hill's morning show, Rising, for supposedly rolling her eyes during an interview with an Israeli guest. As Democracy Now! notes, “Last year, The Hill also fired the political commentator Katie Halper after she called Israel an apartheid state.”7. Even more outrageous, the University of Minnesota is “pausing its search for director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies — days after it offered the job to Israeli historian Raz Segal,” per the Star Tribune. As this article lays out, “Segal is…[a] professor of Holocaust and genocide studies …at Stockton University in New Jersey,” and a Jewish Israeli. Yet the offer was rescinded for “Among other things…[publishing] an article called ‘A Textbook Case of Genocide,' which he published in [the Left-wing Jewish publication] Jewish Currents.” That's right, apparently even being a Jewish Israeli professor of Holocaust and genocide studies is not enough to protect you from charges of antisemitism.8. A new article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, authored by Doctors Adam Gaffney, Steffie Woolhandler, and David Himmelstein analyzes “The Medicare Advantage Paradox.” This piece argues Medicare Advantage delivers less care to patients at a higher cost. As the authors put it, “[as] enrollment in…private [Medicare Advantage] plans surpassed 30 million…the health insurance industry's trade group proclaimed [Medicare Advantage] ‘a good deal for members and taxpayers.'…The first part of that claim is debatable, while the second part is false. Medicare Payment Advisory Commission…the nonpartisan agency reporting to Congress, recently estimated that [Medicare Advantage] overpayments added $82 billion to taxpayers' costs for Medicare in 2023 and $612 billion between 2007 and 2024.”9. In Britain, the Labour Party has been conducting a purge of its Left flank under the leadership of its cowardly centrist leader Keir Starmer. Included in that purge is former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn has represented the working class district of Islington North for over 40 years. Yet, as the Guardian explains, “[Corbyn] was blocked from standing again for Labour...[and] has been expelled from the Labour party.” The Guardian report continues “Last year, 98% of attenders at a local party monthly general meeting backed a motion thanking Corbyn for his ‘commitment and service to the people', adding it was members' ‘democratic right to select our MP'.” Ousted from the Labour Party, Corbyn now intends to stand for the seat as an independent MP. Writing in the district's local paper, Corbyn stated, “When I was first elected, I made a promise to stand by my constituents no matter what … In Islington North, we keep our promises.”10. Finally, CNN reports Chiquita Brands International  – formerly the United Fruit Company – has been found “liable for financing the Colombian paramilitary group Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia,” by a Florida jury. The AUC was a “far-right paramilitary group that was designated a terrorist organization by the US.” Chiquita has been ordered to pay $38.3 million to the families of eight victims. CNN adds, “In 2007, Chiquita pleaded guilty to making over 100 payments to the AUC totaling over $1.7 million despite the group being designated a terrorist organization…The company agreed to pay the US government a $25 million fine.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

On Thursday, the Minneapolis city council unanimously passed a resolution that calls for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to initiate a national recall of specific Kia and Hyundai models that are vulnerable to theft. The council says St. Paul will be signing onto the resolution, and its pressure that city councils nationwide are putting on federal officials. The thefts of Kias and Hyundais have not slowed down since it became a problem during the pandemic. In Minneapolis, police tallied 2,378 Kia and Hyundai thefts in 2022, which was an 836% increase. In 2023, the number is still rising, nearly doubling to 4,085 as of November. Some of those vehicles have been stolen multiple times. The automakers have offered software updates and local departments have offered steering wheel locks, but that hasn't seemed to prevent thefts. Michael Brooks is the executive director for the Center for Auto Safety, a national consumer advocacy organization. He joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to explain where car owners and city officials can go from here.

Dr. Galati talks starts the program explaining the difference between heath span and life span.

It's hard to imagine a world without seatbelts or airbags. But five decades ago, it was the norm for car manufacturers to put glamour over safety.“It was stylistic pornography over engineering integrity,” Ralph Nader, prolific consumer advocate and several-time presidential candidate, tells Science Friday.This winter marks the 55th anniversary of Nader's groundbreaking investigation, “Unsafe at Any Speed,” a damning look at how little auto safety technology was in vehicles back in the 1960s. The book had a massive effect on auto safety in the U.S., setting the groundwork for laws about seatbelts, and the creation of the United States Department of Transportation.Nader joins Ira to discuss what's happened over 55 years of auto safety advances, and what kind of work is needed to make sure new technology, like self-driving cars, have the safety checks they need before going out on the roads.To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

A quick summary of top tips for keeping yourself safe at home, work and in your car. Cary Public Safety Day lets the public engage with Police, Fire, EMS and other agencies from Wake County. Sept.  16, 2023 from 11am-2pm.  

George Baker from General Motors joins JMN to share important automotive safety tips to protect yourself and your car.

A proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule that “would limit tailpipe emissions so that in order to comply, auto companies would have to sell 60% of new vehicles as electric by 2030” would adversely affect the safety of cars.So says Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of The Heritage Foundation's Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment. (The Daily Signal is The Heritage Foundation's news outlet.)“Well, since [electric] vehicles are more expensive, people would postpone buying them. So, they would stay with their older cars, and newer cars have more safety features. If they get in an accident, they're less likely to hurt the passenger,” Furchtgott-Roth says.“So, because of that, you have increases in injuries and fatalities, if you make new cars more expensive. And that's if you increase [Corporate Average Fuel Economy] standards for normal gasoline-powered vehicles, or you mandate electric vehicles,” she adds. According to the Department of Transportation, CAFE standards are fleetwide averages that must be achieved by each automaker for its car and truck fleet.Furchtgott-Roth joins today's episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to further discuss the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule and what environmental benefits the EPA is hoping to accomplish in potentially implementing that rule, as well as the role that China plays in producing electric vehicles.

Auto safety design expert Byron Bloch has dedicated his 50+ year career to preventing needless injuries and deaths on the roads. He has testified in numerous landmark auto defect cases, specializing in fuel tank fires, truck underride hazards, rollovers and roof crushes, seat backrest collapse, airbags that kill or injure, and school bus hazards. In this episode, Byron shares the most significant auto design defects in history, and tells Jon what manufacturers need to do moving forward. He highlights America's “vehicle obesity” problem, questioning why a 5,000-pound vehicle is needed to transport a 150-pound person. Byron also gives listeners safety advice on what to look for in a new car, briefly detouring to reminisce about his one-time appearance on “The Dating Game” TV show.You can also listen to this podcast on major podcast platforms here: https://linktr.ee/MastersofEngineering  

What's at stake in the General Election? A Conversation with former presidential Candidate RALPH NADER Ralph Nader is a consumer advocate, lawyer and author. Ralph Nader made four bids to become President of the United States, running with the Green Party in 1996 and 2000, the Reform Party in 2004 and as an independent in 2008. Nader is one of America's most effective social critics. His analyses and advocacy have enhanced public awareness and increased government and corporate accountability. His example has inspired a whole generation of consumer advocates, citizen activists and public interest lawyers who, in turn, have established their own organizations. Ralph founded many organizations including the Center for Study of Responsive Law, the Public Interest Research Group, the Center for Auto Safety, Public Citizen, Clean Water Action Project, the Disability Rights Center, the Pension Rights Center, the Project for Corporate Responsibility and The Multinational Monitor, a monthly magazine. He is the author of 14 books and hosts the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. MESSAGE FROM UNITED STATES SENATOR MICHAEL D. BROWN Marília and I will discuss the upcoming General Election with Ralph Nader. We look forward to hearing his insights on politics in America, the divide in public opinion and what he sees going forward with our economy.

Welcome to the first episode of the Center for Auto Safety podcast. This week Anthony asks whether electric vehicles catch on fire more than ICE vehicles, Fred tells us that manufacturers can use anything in airbag propellants and Michael lets us know that there are little regulations around batteries.

Matt Moore, Senior Vice President of Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), oversees the organization's research program, the collection of vehicle information and the production of loss data. A complementary company to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, HLDI processes insurance data from companies that represent approximately 85 percent of the U.S. private passenger auto insurance market. IIHS, HLDI, Progressive work together for improved auto safety. Moore is our guest this week on The Weekly Driver Podcast. Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia interview the automobile safety expert with an emphasis on his involvement in a new study released in conjunction with Progressive Insurance titled Does Tech Make Driving Safer? The HLDI reported in 2020 that forward collision warning combined with automatic braking reduced front-to-rear crashes by 50 percent and crashes with injuries by 56 percent. Moore reiterated the importance of the report's findings. "The big one and the I feel the most personal satisfaction about is front auto-braking systems," says Moore. "These are systems that eliminate a lot of problems related to human error, inattention or rapidly emerging circumstances. "The vehicle is just watching the road and the environment ahead and if it senses a crash-imminent situation it's going to hit the brakes for you." "The great news is that in September of this year, as a consequence of the work that IIHS and HLDI did and with the voluntary commitment of the National Highway Traffic Administration that the vast majority of vehicles sold are going to have that front auto brake system." Join Bruce and me as we discuss with Moore the collaborative work of the IIHS and HLDI to further increase driving safety. To read the full Progressive study, visit: Does Tech Make Driving Safer?

On Wednesday's show we talked about Tesla's full self-driving mode, which it is about to make available to more drivers. And yes, the name implies that the cars will drive themselves, but the technology isn’t there yet. A human will still have to be in control. But while the technology is advancing, there is no federal regulation of self-driving cars. And that's created a patchwork of different rules across the country. Marketplace’s Marielle Segarra speaks with Jason Levine, the executive director of the Center for Auto Safety.

Friday April 9, 2021 Whistleblower Program for Auto Safety Has Yet to Launch Years After Congressional Mandate

Thursday February 18, 2021 Elon Musk Weighs in on Federal Regulation of AI and Auto Safety

Kristin Kingsley, an auto safety engineer, joins me to talk about vechicle safety, which falls under the DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's not just about the cars themselves, but the drivers as well.

Updated at 3:45 p.m. Highway safety advocates are urging Wisconsin, other states, and the federal government to pass laws that the advocates say would keep thousands more drivers and passengers alive. A Milwaukee-area doctor is part of the push. Preliminary federal estimates for last year show vehicle miles traveled went down, presumably due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the fatality rate per miles traveled appears to have gone up. In Wisconsin, highway deaths rose by 43 over the total for 2019 to nearly 600. Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, sums up last year this way: "Unfortunately, instead of our emptier streets leading to safer streets, our roadways have become reckless racetracks." Chase blames more speeding and impaired and distracted driving for the death rate going up. Her group, which is a coalition of insurance companies, law enforcement and public health officials, recently released its annual roadmap that rates all the states on whether they

32. odcinek podcastu "Jutronauci: świat po pandemii". Zamykamy naszą trzyodcinkową serię o przyszłości poruszania się. W trzeciej części rozmawiamy o autonomicznych autach. Jak bardzo odległa jest ich przyszłość, jak mogą wyglądać i czego mogą potrzebować do sprawnego funkcjonowania? Samochód autonomiczny niekoniecznie będzie odpowiadał naszym wyobrażeniom kształtowanym przez filmy science fiction. Za kierownicą nie musi siedzieć humanoidalny robot. Amerykańska firma Starsky Robotics rozwija floty autonomicznych ciężarówek, którymi – niczym wojskowymi dronami – dowodzą zastępy operatorów. – Autonomiczność może mieć wiele twarzy – zaznacza Tomasz Kamiński z Instytutu Transportu Samochodowego w Warszawie w rozmowie z Vadimem Makarenką. A Filip Raszewski, trener Škoda Auto Safety, przekonuje, że częściowo możemy doświadczać autonomiczności już dziś.

Tuesday December 1, 2020 Hyundai and Kia to Pay $210 million Auto Safety Penalty

31. odcinek podcastu "Jutronauci: świat po pandemii". Kontynuujemy trzyodcinkową serię o przyszłości poruszania się. W drugiej części rozmawiamy o elektromobilności. We wrześniu 2020 r. po raz pierwszy w historii w Europie zarejestrowano więcej samochodów elektrycznych i hybrydowych niż diesli. Z badań zachowań zakupowych i przewidywanych postaw konsumentów w najbliższej przyszłości wynika, że stajemy się bardziej wrażliwi na problemy środowiska. Czy zmieni się też nasze podejście do samochodów elektrycznych? Michał Roszkowski, szef badań sektora samochodowego w Kantar Polska, jest ostrożny. – Prędzej czy później każdy z nas będzie jeździł autem o napędzie alternatywnym. Na razie jednak kierujemy się nie ekologią, lecz ekonomią – mówi w rozmowie z Vadimem Makarenką. Olgierd Cygan, szef festiwalu Filmteractive, jeździ elektrykiem od czterech lat i przekonuje, że to się opłaca. A Filip Kaczanowski, trener Škoda Auto Safety, opowiada o tym, że napęd elektryczny obejmuje kolejną kategorię samochodów, czyli auta terenowe.

30. odcinek podcastu "Jutronauci: świat po pandemii". Zaczynamy trzyodcinkową serię o przyszłości poruszania się. Pandemia jest akceleratorem trendów, czy przyspieszyła również przemiany w szerokopojętej branży samochodowej? Zaczynamy od podejścia do posiadania samochodu. Czy wydawanie wielkich pieniędzy na własny samochód jest uzasadnione, kiedy borykamy się ze wstrząsami na rynku pracy i liczymy każdą złotówkę? Do wyboru mamy coraz więcej form użytkowania: wypożyczenie, wypożyczenie na godziny, abonament czy leasing. 36-letni Tomasz Kolinko zrezygnował z własnego samochodu już ponad dekadę temu, ale z danych wynika, że wciąż należy do wyjątków. Dlaczego? Postrzegamy auto jako symbol statusu i atrybut samowystarczalności, a pandemia tylko to wzmocniła. Vadim Makarenko rozmawia o tym z Michałem Roszkowskim z Kantar Polska oraz Danielem Jackowiakiem, trenerem Škoda Auto Safety.

The 2021 Chevy Suburban is one of the latest additions to our testing fleet, and we give our first impressions on what it's like to drive this big SUV, both on the open road, as well as in urban environments. The subscription model is common with many services these days, yet is still fairly uncommon in the automotive world. However, recent announcements by Tesla and GM may change this, and could introduce the concept of charging a monthly fee for access to important safety features. We talk about how these programs will work, and why they might not be in the best interest of consumers. We also discuss the long-term reliability of turbos and direct-injection vehicles, the best way to store your winter or summer tires, and if a dealership might allow you to learn to drive a manual transmission with one of their vehicles (spoiler alert: probably not.)     -----------------------------------   Have a question for our experts?

David Aylor, IIHS, joins Closing the Gap to discuss the work IIHS is conducting to test auto safety technology and autonomous vehicles. We welcome your review of Closing the Gap on Apple Podcasts. Learn more about Westfield's independent agency partners.

Welcome back to What’s NEXT, the podcast exploring the technology of the future. In this episode, host Christina Bechold Russ speaks with Maya Pindeus, co-founder and CEO of Humanising Autonomy, about the challenges of ensuring that autonomous cars, buses, and trucks safely interact with unpredictable pedestrians.

According to studies, if automatic braking systems were installed in every vehicle, the number of rear-end crashes would likely be cut in half… which is one major factor behind the decision by dozens of automakers to agree to put automatic braking systems in each of their new cars by year 2022. Within three years of the standard, the IIHS says the systems will prevent an estimated 28,000 crashes – which is great, right? Well, as we move towards this established feature there are some people out there who have some reservations about automatic braking. In fact, the NHTSA is investigating a claim by one woman that her 2018 Nissan Rogue inexplicably slammed on the brakes while she was driving down the highway at 55 mph – coming to a complete stop. Cindy Walsh says the Rogue’s automatic braking has engaged two other times. When she has taken it to the dealership, they said it worked.She told CBS News that’s she’s now too scared to even drive it anymore. NHTSA’s investigation will cover the 2017 and 2018 Rogue after some 850 complaints of false activation of the SUV’s automatic braking – the results of which have reportedly been 14 crashes and five injuries. Jason Levine of the Center for Auto Safety also told CBS that people were beginning to turn the system off, which added to the incentive for these agencies to resolve the matter and “move towards a recall very quickly.”A recent study by the IIHS says the systems are safe, but “there is definitely room for improvement.” Outside of any potential issues with the Rogue, there have been seven recalls relating to automatic braking systems in the past three years. The “phantom braking” problem in the Rogue could add more than a half million to that list.

Most roads in the United States are under state and local control, but the Federal Government tries to encourage safety. One way is through a joint program between the Federal Highway Administration and the Roadway Safety Foundation. This week they've honored seven safety projects that solve big problems.  The FHA's Director of the Office of Safety Technologies Michael Griffith joined the foundation's executive director, Greg Cohen on Federal Drive with Tom Temin to provide some details.

On this episode of Court Appointed, Mike and Tommy discuss the rise and fall of the popular 70's car, the Ford Pinto. How this wildly economical car was rushed to market eve with known safety flaws because, "Safety doesn't sell" !!  The Court is now in Session with music, "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" by MCRB.

Your car is a big investment, especially if you buy it new. But if you have a problem with your new car, will you be protected? It may depend on where you live. The Center for Auto Safety recently released a ranking of all states' Lemon Laws. Kane In Your Corner's Walt Kane talks to Amy Ginsburg, automotive attorney for Kimmel & Silverman, about Lemon Law protection.

Larry Snow with the Secure Transportation and Executive Protection News for Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018.   In Vehicle News From AutomotiveNews.Com Tesla slammed over 'deceptive' Autopilot name in a letter to U.S. regulators Two U.S. consumer advocacy groups urged the Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday to investigate what they called Tesla Inc.'s "deceptive and misleading" use of the name Autopilot for its assisted-driving technology.  The Center for Auto Safety and Consumer Watchdog, both nonprofit groups, sent a letter to the FTC saying that consumers could be misled into thinking, based on Tesla's marketing and advertising, that Autopilot makes a Tesla vehicle self-driving. But in the letter, the groups said that a series of ads and press releases from Tesla as well as statements by CEO Elon Musk "mislead and deceive customers into believing that Autopilot is safer and more capable than it is known to be."   Read More == In Terrorism News From SecurityMagazine.Com 6 Links Between Social Media and Violence You Haven't Thought About In March, the European Commission demanded that tech firms remove terrorist posts within one hour of their appearance. Similar calls have come from corporations and commentators, alike. These forms of pressure are important but focused only on the problem of social media serving as a tool for spreading violent ideas and propaganda. Disturbingly, social media use itself may be predisposing individuals to commit terrorism, shootings and other forms of violence by impacting user behavior and well-being.  The article offers insights from threat assessment professionals and researchers to help identify ways in which social media may be linked to violence.

The buzz: Safety first. After record vehicle recalls in 2014, automakers are under intense pressure from consumers and regulators to be proactive about product quality and safety issues; protect consumers; and minimize the duration, scale, and cost of recall events. How? Advanced analytics. The experts speak. Mark Gardner, Deloitte: “Anyone who sits on top of the largest hydrogen-oxygen fueled system in the world, knowing they're going to light the bottom, and doesn't get a little worried, does not fully understand the situation” (Space Shuttle Commander John Young). Josh Greenbaum, EAC Consulting: “Beware the unintended consequences of advanced analytics in the automotive sector. Saving lives is unequivocally a good idea, but big data analytics will have other impacts that might not be as well-received.” Derek Snaidauf, Deloitte: “Better three hours too soon than a minute too late” (William Shakespeare).
