Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian, recaps a Consumer Reports session led by Alex Knizek, outlining CR's nonprofit testing operation (36 cars yearly, 330-acre Connecticut track) and its scoring pillars: road test, reliability, owner satisfaction (380,000 member surveys), and safety, including real-world/track ADAS evaluation. He reads key rankings, including five-to-ten-year reliability led by Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, and Acura, with Tesla last; he contrasts this with the 2026 brand report card topped by Subaru, BMW, Porsche, Honda, and Toyota, and notes Rivian's low reliability but high satisfaction. He shares takeaways that hybrids show 15% fewer issues than ICE, while plug-ins have 80% more issues than hybrids, and discusses model-specific drags (Honda Prologue, Mazda CX-90). He explains his wife's purchase of a 2026 Cadillac Optiq, influenced by pricing, free workplace charging, and Super Cruise. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Why Consumer Reports? 02:07 Inside CR Testing 03:22 Elk Test Explained 04:36 How CR Scores Cars 06:29 Used Car Reliability 09:01 New Car Software Woes 10:56 Brand Report Card 12:54 Surveys Versus Desire 17:01 Hybrids PHEVs EVs 22:23 ADAS & Super Cruise 25:10 EV Reliability Problems 26:46 Safety Rankings 27:37 Top 10 Picks Wrap 28:55 Thanks And Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian.

Okay, Gia and Keisha are still trying to improve the sound quality--thank you for your feedback everyone. Now. How much worse can Curtis get? Michael is putting the pieces together, but will he be able to fix this whole BMW problem? Can anyone fix Curtis? And how about Willow and Sidwell? Is she terrified or impressed by him? Also, why isn't Lucas more scared of Sidwell? Plus, the Rocco situation needs to move along. On the positive side, Kai is becoming a stronger character, Molly and Cody are still a fun couple, and Gio is an all around good guy.  #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner  #nicholaschavez #afterlife #rickygervais #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #freefallin #alanarkin #newgirl #lamornemorris #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #riplesliecharleson #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor #dutchbarnvodka #chadduell #rickygervaisrobot #colinfromaccounts #ripanthonygeary

¡Benditos reglamentos! ¿Te imaginas entrar en un concesionario y salir con una máquina que, con apenas unos ajustes, podría ganar el Rally de Montecarlo o las 24 Horas de Le Mans? Hubo una época dorada en la que las marcas no fabricaban coches para venderlos, sino que los vendían simplemente para poder competir. En el video de hoy analizamos los "Homologation Specials", las piezas de ingeniería más salvajes y puras que jamás han pisado el asfalto público. ¿Qué es un Homologation Special? Para los que no estéis familiarizados con el lenguaje de la FIA, el concepto es sencillo pero fascinante. Para evitar que las marcas compitieran con prototipos espaciales que no tenían nada que ver con los modelos de producción, las federaciones imponían una norma: "Si quieres competir, debes fabricar una serie de unidades idénticas (ya fueran 200, 500 o 5.000) para que el público general pueda comprarlas". El resultado eran coches de carreras "domesticados" a la fuerza. Les ponían intermitentes, un claxon y unos asientos algo más cómodos para cumplir el expediente. No buscaban rentabilidad; de hecho, muchas marcas perdían dinero con cada unidad vendida. El único objetivo era levantar el trofeo el domingo. 10 Leyendas con matrícula -Lancia Stratos HF (1973): El primer coche nacido por y para los rallyes. Una cuña diseñada por Gandini con motor central Ferrari V6 donde el piloto va sentado de lado por lo estrecho de su habitáculo. -BMW 3.0 CSL (1973): El mítico "Batmóvil". Su kit aerodinámico era tan radical que el alerón trasero se entregaba en el maletero porque no era legal para circular en Alemania. -Lancia 037 (1982): El último guerrero de propulsión trasera que venció a la tracción total. Un coche de chasis tubular y fibra de vidrio que escondía una de las anécdotas más famosas de la picaresca italiana durante su inspección de homologación. -Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 (1984): Un engaño visual. Aunque parezca un 205, lleva motor central y tracción total. Una bestia del Grupo B del que solo se fabricaron 200 unidades, todas en el icónico gris Winchester. -Ford RS200 (1984): Diseñado por ingenieros de F1 y fabricado por expertos en fibra de vidrio. Ostentó durante 12 años el récord Guinness de aceleración. -BMW M3 E30 (1986): El coche de turismos más laureado. Cada panel de su carrocería fue modificado respecto al Serie 3 estándar solo para mejorar la aerodinámica en el DTM. Ford Sierra RS Cosworth (1986): Famoso por su alerón "cola de ballena", una pieza imprescindible para mantener el coche pegado al suelo a más de 200 km/h, pese a las reticencias de los directivos de Ford. -Lancia Delta HF Integrale (1987): El dominador absoluto del Grupo A. Sus abultadas aletas y el capó abombado no eran estética, eran necesidades mecánicas para ganar seis títulos consecutivos. -Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II (1990): La respuesta brutalista al dominio de BMW. Su alerón ajustable era tan efectivo que obligó a la competencia a rediseñar sus propios túneles de viento. -Toyota GT-One (1998): El caso más extremo. Un prototipo de Le Mans puro con intermitentes que logró su homologación gracias a una interpretación muy creativa de las normas sobre el espacio del maletero. La evolución de las categorías Desde los años 50 con el Ferrari 250 GTO, pasando por la salvaje era del Grupo B en los 80, hasta la racionalización del Grupo A y los excesos de los GT1 de los 90, los reglamentos han moldeado la historia del automóvil. Lamentablemente, los Homologation Specials son hijos de un tiempo pasado. Hoy en día, los reglamentos permiten correr con "siluetas" o se basan en el BoP (Balance of Performance), donde la igualdad se busca mediante software y no mediante la ingeniería pura. Aquellos coches eran la pasión de los ingenieros ganándole la partida a los contables. Eran difíciles, caros de mantener y ruidosos, pero representan el vínculo más puro que ha existido jamás entre el mundo de la competición y el usuario de a pie. Si alguna vez tienes la oportunidad de ver uno de estos 10 elegidos, recuerda que no estás ante un simple coche, sino ante un trofeo de carreras con matrícula.

This month's Drive Thru News mixes banter and headlines with a “What Should I Buy?” story: Brad abandons his troubled orange Mk4 GTI “Pumpkin Spice” after finding oil-and-coolant “chocolate milk” from internal failure and frame misalignment, then buys a high-mileage Vortex Blue Turbo Beetle (one of 2,000 U.S. cars) that's clean, street legal, and likely chipped, prompting naming jokes and parts-swapping plans. The crew debates VW's business turmoil, an allegedly Mk4-inspired Mk9 Golf design, the 2027 ID.Buzz return, Porsche EV uncertainty, a Cayenne Electric Coupe, simulated “manual” shift-by-wire, and Brembo's non-hydraulic brake system. Other topics include Stellantis moves and factory health complaints, BMW killing the Z4 but teasing a manual M3 CS, an ugly Mercedes EV, discounted Hertz Shelby Mach-Es, an Outlander recall and handling rant, a pristine 1992 Scirocco auction, Cybertruck mishaps, books and upcoming events, Florida flying-car talk, sim-racing updates, and 24 Hours of Lemons prep including a risky wheel-sourcing tow story. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Drive Thru Kickoff 00:00:49 Buying yet another VW?!? 00:05:27 Pumpkin Spice Autopsy 00:09:15 Naming The Blue Beetle 00:11:09 Parting Out The Orange GTI and Resisting The Porsche Temptress 00:18:01 VW Business Model Panic 00:19:41 Mark 9 Golf Controversy 00:21:21 ID.Buzz Returns?

Panda Planner, Your New WeaponWelcome back to Everyone Racers — the podcast where amateur endurance racers pretend they're professionals while zip-tying garbage back together in the paddock and surviving entirely on race fuel fumes, bad decisions, and gas station burritos.In this artist-owned, ultra-rare Duesenberg Episode; Mental recommends some butt paste, Tim gets in cold water up to the nipples, Chrissy is just told to go faster with no meaningful data, Chris reminds us to check under our door panels for meth, and Jason sends in car messages to his race team in Russian.Really, this week gets surprisingly serious. Veteran racer Jason Seibert joins the show to talk about Panda-Planner.com, a race strategy and telemetry platform built specifically for grassroots endurance racing teams. This thing kind of blew our minds.Jason also explains how Panda Planner grew from a personal side project into software serious enough that NASCAR teams and engineers started paying attention to it. Yet somehow it still costs less than your team spends on terrible beer Friday night in the paddock.If you've ever sat on pit wall staring at Race Monitor trying to figure out:how much fuel you're burningwhether the guy ahead still needs another pit stopif your driver is actually helpingwhat lap times you REALLY need to runor whether you should pit under yellow……that's exactly what Panda Planner was built to do.Not theoretical. Not “future feature” nonsense.Jason built this after years of manually calculating race strategy during endurance races while trying to keep junk cars alive long enough to accidentally win things.…there's a VERY good chance this episode will change how you think about endurance racing strategy.Or at minimum, convince you not to trust a $20,000 BMW engine rebuild.

This week, Alex and Beck grill Randy about his recent trip to Europe, which entailed among other treats watching a BaT alumni 993 GT2 ripping it up at Monza; ripping it up himself in a Falcon on the track, on the Autostrada, and all over Europe; experiencing general Falcon love across the pond; and wishing he'd brought a bigger suitcase.The trio talk about the recent increase in BaT inventory in the EU, including skinny Porsches and perhaps the ultimate E36 Touring; how to pronounce "959" (hint: it sounds much like "wow!"); comment melees of yore; a host of recent collections on BaT; the best GTO; aspiring to 20-car Fox-body ownership; 356 price drops and Shelby price creep; driving into the sunset on Route 66; a Nomad kind of blue; some stellar recent sales; the downside of our company's name; a semi-sheepish (and obvious to anyone who speaks with him routinely) admission from Randy; and extremely fast snail with an Audi wrapped around it.Follow along!

Zaitgeist #21 S filozofem Davidem Černým o nástupu robotů, který může proměnit lidskou společnost na různých úrovních k nepoznání. Moderuje Štěpán Sedláček.S kolegou Martinem Uhlířem jsem v uplynulých týdnech přečetli spoustu textů o robotice a také mluvili s řadou expertů a expertek. Výsledkem je mimo jiné náš společný článek Až vás robot obejme – Co vzejde ze spojení umělé inteligence a polidštěných strojů. Jak se ukazuje, osud humanoidních robotů po případném vyřešení technologických a bezpečnostních otázek také bude do značné míry záviset na otevřeností lidí k této technologii. A v tomto ohledu panují mezi zeměmi nemalé rozdíly.Švédská společnost Hexagon (její robotická divize vyvinula humanoida na kolečkách s názvem AEON, kterého aktuálně testuje ve výrobě automobilka BMW) loni na podzim zjišťovala postoje k robotům mezi osmnácti tisíci lidmi v devíti státech. Výsledek potvrzuje, že v mnoha asijských stárnoucích populacích se roboti dočkají vřelejšího přijetí než v Evropě nebo USA. Vůbec největší "robofóbie" v rámci vybraných zemí přitom panuje ve Velké Británii. V kolébce první průmyslové revoluce (a ludditů) se robotů obává 52 procent lidí. Naopak nejmenší obavy mají lidé v Jižní Koreji (29%) a Japonsku (35%). Pocity nadšení z budoucnosti po boku robotů pak sdílí  81 procent oslovených lidí v Číně, 78% v Indii a 75% Brazílii v kontrastu k 45% ve Švýcarsku a Německu.Souvisí to mimo jiné se strachem z neznámého. Zatímco zhruba tři čtvrtiny lidí v Číně už má s touto technologií nějakou zkušenost a ráda by měla robota na pracovišti za kolegu, pouze necelá třetina oslovených respondentů v Británii někdy v životě přišla s robotem do kontaktu. Mezi nejskloňovanější obavy pak patří to, že někdo roboty hackne nebo, že se splaší a napáchají škody. Rozšířený je také strach z toho, že připraví lidi o práci. Průzkum německé společnosti United Robotics z roku 2024 ukázal, že většina z bezmála osmi tisíc oslovených respondentů v USA, Kanadě, Francii, Německu a Itálii se tehdy obávala, že robot může lidi nahradit nejen v práci ale také v sociálních interakcích. Ze zmíněných zemích G7 by roboty ve školách a školkách většina oslovených uvítala pouze v USA (51%).Jak je na roboty připravena česká společnost přibližuje v Zeitgeistu David Černý z Akademie věd ČR ve světle průzkumu, který vyhodnocoval ve spolupráci se socioložkou Lucii Vidovićovou z Masarykovy univerzity. Také přibližuje možné zásadní změny, které může potenciální nástup stamilionů mechanických humanoidů ve společnostech vyvolat i recepty, které filozofové promýšlejí.Až vás robot obejmehttps://www.respekt.cz/tydenik/2026/21/az-vas-robot-obejme

Era el fin de semana de mitad de mayo y el automovilismo vivía uno de esos fines de semana que recuerdan por qué este deporte va mucho más allá de la Fórmula 1. Indianápolis, Nürburgring, NASCAR y MotoGP ofrecieron emoción, tensión y espectáculo en prácticamente todos los frentes. El Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 no deja ni un solo palo sin tocar esta semana. Palou sigue haciendo historia. En Indianápolis, Álex Palou volvió a escribir una página histórica para el automovilismo español. El piloto catalán logró una pole espectacular para las 500 Millas tras firmar una media superior a los 373 kilómetros por hora, una cifra que desde fuera puede parecer fría, pero que adquiere otra dimensión cuando se entiende lo que supone mantener un monoplaza al límite durante cuatro vueltas consecutivas a esas velocidades… y sin apenas carga aerodinámica. La clasificación dejó claro que Palou llega en el mejor momento posible a la carrera más importante de la temporada. Su velocidad, consistencia y confianza lo sitúan entre los grandes favoritos para luchar por una victoria que le colocaría definitivamente en la inmortalidad del automovilismo mundial. El Infierno Verde, el paraíso de los aficionados. Pero Indianápolis no fue el único foco de atención. Las 24 Horas de Nürburgring volvieron a demostrar por qué son una de las pruebas más especiales del planeta. La presencia de Max Verstappen atrajo buena parte de la atención mediática, aunque el verdadero triunfo fue otro: conseguir que miles de aficionados descubrieran una competición tan caótica, extrema y apasionante como esta. El neerlandés no logró la victoria, pero dejó una imagen muy positiva tanto por su implicación como por el interés generado alrededor de la prueba. Junto a él, nombres como Dani Juncadella volvieron a demostrar el enorme nivel de los pilotos españoles en disciplinas alejadas del foco principal de la Fórmula 1. Y, como siempre en Nürburgring, hubo espacio para todo tipo de historias: desde proyectos tan peculiares como el Dacia hasta la aparición de vehículos tan improbables como un BMW familiar compitiendo entre GTs y prototipos en el Infierno Verde. Y hubo mucho más este pasado fin de semana. La NASCAR también dejó espectáculo en Dover, con Denny Hamlin llevándose un millón de dólares tras una carrera caótica y llena de incidentes, mientras que MotoGP volvió a mostrar su cara más dura con varias caídas de enorme violencia que, afortunadamente, terminaron sin consecuencias dramáticas (graves sí, pero no dramáticas… podía haber sido trágico). En conjunto, un fin de semana que sirvió para recordar algo que cada vez parece más evidente: el automovilismo vive un momento extraordinariamente rico fuera de la Fórmula 1. Y quizá eso sea una de las mejores noticias posibles para el deporte,… pero a lo mejor no es la mejor para Liberty.

Polo GTI, the first-ever electric vehicle to carry the iconic GTI badge — a near-50-year-first — sitting above the standard ID. Polo with a 223hp front-mounted motor, 0–62mph in 6.8 seconds, and a 263-mile WLTP range from its 52 kWh battery. It goes on sale in Germany from autumn 2026, priced from €39,000, competing with the Alpine A290 and Peugeot E-208 GTi, but will not be sold in North America.BMW AND SOLARWATT PUSH V2H PLANSBMW and SOLARWATT are expanding their partnership to bring Vehicle-to-Home bidirectional charging to BMW's Neue Klasse line-up, starting with the iX3 and i3, following Germany's first commercial Vehicle-to-Grid launch in March 2026. The integrated system will use SOLARWATT's energy management platform, the BMW Wallbox Professional, and both brands' apps to coordinate solar, home storage, dynamic tariffs, and EV charging — launching first across Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.GM CUTS BOLT COSTS WITH BATCH BUILDSGM is achieving its sub-$30,000 target for the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV in part by assembling cars in batches of 30 identical units at its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, rather than building mixed trims in sequence, reducing errors and line stoppages. The approach, part of GM's "Winning with Simplicity" strategy, also includes keeping clone spare bodies on standby, cutting floor space needs, reducing paint booth colour changes, and locking suppliers to a fixed seven-day delivery schedule.UK INSURERS SHUN MANY CHINESE CARSCarwow research found that half of all insurance quote requests for Chinese vehicles were declined outright by UK insurers, with AXA refusing to quote on all four tested models and Hastings Direct covering only one. Beyond availability, Chinese models averaged £901 per year to insure versus £646 for petrol equivalents — a £255 gap — with insurers citing limited repair data, underdeveloped parts supply chains, and a lack of long-term claims history as key reasons.BMW TIES IONNA DISCOUNT TO US CHARGINGBMW has launched a preferred pricing programme with IONNA, giving BMW and MINI EV drivers a 20% discount on public charging sessions across the network's 1,000-plus US bays, running through 30 September 2026. The discount applies automatically via Plug & Charge or the My BMW App, with no subscription or RFID card required, as part of BMW's broader strategy to build out home, workplace, and public charging infrastructure.EPA DELAYS TIER 4 BY TWO YEARSThe EPA has proposed pushing Biden-era Tier 4 light- and medium-duty vehicle emissions standards back two years, from model year 2027 to 2029, framing the move as a "freedom of choice" measure that the agency says will save automakers and consumers over $1.7 billion. The rollback goes much further than a delay, however — the EPA has also repealed the 2009 Endangerment Finding and all vehicle greenhouse gas regulations, dismantling the legal framework for future federal EV mandates.KIA DEBUTS PV5 SIDE-ENTRY WAV IN EUROPEKia unveiled the PV5 WAV Side Entry at the Motability Scheme Live exhibition in Birmingham on 15 May 2026, claiming a segment first with its side-entry wheelchair access that allows kerb-side boarding — an advantage in dense urban areas where rear access is often blocked. Built for taxi operators, shuttle services, and fleet providers, the van features a reinforced floor, integrated wheelchair anchorage, floor lighting for boarding visibility, and a two-step manual ramp suited to varied road conditions.COULTHARD DRIVES FORMULA E GEN4 AT MONACODavid Coulthard drove Formula E's upcoming GEN4 car on the streets of Monte Carlo, describing the experience as unlike anything in his career — a significant claim from a two-time Monaco Grand Prix winner. The GEN4, set to debut in the 2026/27 season, tops 205mph, weighs under 1,000kg, produces over 800bhp, hits 0–100kph in 1.8 seconds, and delivers a 71% power increase over GEN3 Evo in Attack Mode, with all-wheel drive and a redesigned ergonomic cockpit; it will make its first public show appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed from 9–12 July.RECYCLING LIFTS OLD BATTERIES INTO BETTER CATHODESResearchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Argonne National Laboratory have developed a recycling process that upcycles spent lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese oxide cells into higher-performance lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode material, recovering more than 95% of key elements — rivalling or exceeding most commercial operations. Crucially, the process runs at normal temperature and pressure, requires no energy-intensive equipment, fits existing recycling infrastructure, and produces cathode material with higher energy density than the source materials it came from.

Soberbia, compras desastrosas y motores que fallan. Todas las marcas tienen una cara oculta que prefieren no airear, y Peugeot no es una excepción. En este episodio de nuestra serie "El lado oscuro de...", analizamos los momentos más polémicos de una marca que ha pasado de ser un imperio familiar intocable a verse obligada a pedir ayuda externa para no desaparecer. El dilema de la Guerra y el pacto con Porsche La historia de Peugeot durante la ocupación nazi es un ejercicio de funambulismo moral. Bajo la supervisión directa de Ferdinand Porsche, la planta de Sochaux produjo material bélico para el Tercer Reich. Aunque la familia Peugeot apoyó a la Resistencia en la sombra, la colaboración oficial con el enemigo provocó que la propia aviación británica (RAF) bombardeara sus fábricas en 1943, dejando un rastro de destrucción y dilemas éticos que aún hoy resuenan en su historia. El "Canibalismo" de Citroën y el desastre de Talbot En los años 70, Peugeot mostró su faceta más agresiva. En 1974 absorbió a una Citroën en bancarrota, pero en lugar de fomentar su innovación, la "domesticó". Peugeot canceló el proyecto del motor Wankel y se deshizo de Maserati, matando el alma tecnológica de Citroën para imponer plataformas compartidas. Poco después, la compra de Chrysler Europa por un dólar simbólico resultó ser un regalo envenenado. Peugeot resucitó la marca Talbot para intentar dar salida a modelos obsoletos y de pésima calidad. La aventura fue tan desastrosa que casi lleva a la quiebra total a la compañía, salvada únicamente por el éxito inesperado del legendario Peugeot 205. La pesadilla del motor "Prince" y los fallos del 307 Si hablamos de fiabilidad, Peugeot tiene manchas difíciles de borrar. La alianza con BMW para crear los motores 1.6 VTi y THP (familia Prince) resultó en una catástrofe para miles de usuarios. Cadena de distribución que se estiraba, bombas de alta presión que fallaban y un consumo de aceite excesivo fueron la norma. Lo más oscuro fue la gestión de la marca, que durante años culpó a los usuarios mientras estos afrontaban reparaciones millonarias. Tampoco podemos olvidar el escándalo del Peugeot 307 en el norte de Europa, donde fallos eléctricos graves provocaron incendios espontáneos, obligando a llamadas a revisión masivas que pusieron en entredicho los procesos de calidad de la firma francesa. 2014: El fin de una dinastía de 200 años El capítulo final de esta historia oscura ocurrió en 2014. Tras años de pérdidas económicas y crisis de producto, la familia Peugeot, que había controlado el destino de la empresa durante dos siglos, tuvo que rendirse. Para evitar la quiebra técnica, cedieron el control al Estado francés y a la empresa china Dongfeng. Fue el fin de la era familiar y el paso previo a la integración en el gigante Stellantis. Peugeot es un superviviente nato que ha sabido resurgir de sus cenizas, pero su historia nos recuerda que la soberbia empresarial y los fallos en la fiabilidad técnica dejan cicatrices que tardan décadas en cerrar.

Join my free 3-day masterclass, The Consistent Cash Method, starting May 19th-21st at 11 am CST if you're a high-performing woman who wants to have more consistent, higher cash months in your business https://link.shaminataylor.com/consistent-cash-method    In this episode rerun of the Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor sits down with the remarkable Natalie Dawson. CEO, empire builder, author, and one of the most quietly powerful women in business today.   At just 32 years old, Natalie runs a company of 350 people, is launching a private equity fund, and has helped 10x her family's net worth from a $155 million exit to well over $500 million.   And she did it all while navigating one of the most misunderstood and underrepresented experiences in business. Being the woman behind and beside a wildly successful man, while building her own undeniable legacy at the same time.   This conversation is raw, real, and full of the kind of truth most people are too afraid to say out loud. Natalie shares how she dropped out of college at 21 with $3,500 in her bank account and a borrowed BMW to go all in on a business nobody believed in.   How she fell in love with a man twice her age and spent years fighting the internal battle of not wanting her success to be attributed to him. And how she ultimately chose alignment over approval and built something extraordinary anyway.   Shamina and Natalie go deep on what it really means to be unapologetically rich. The daily habits, the non-negotiables, the ruthless standards around who gets access to your energy, and why the work you do on yourself will always be the highest return investment you ever make.   In this episode you will discover: How Natalie went from $3,500 and a dropped out of college to running a 350 person company in six years Why she fell in love with a man twice her age and the identity battle she had to fight to own her success fully The daily team meeting that Natalie says is the heartbeat of her entire business and why she will never stop doing it How she uses AI and ChatGPT as her personal mentor and learning tool and exactly how you can do the same Why women are about to hold 30 trillion dollars in wealth by 2030 and what Natalie is doing to make sure women know what to do with it Her definition of rich and why it has nothing to do with a number The non-negotiable standards she holds for the people in her inner circle and why she has ruthlessly cut anyone who does not support her vision What she learned watching her husband hit his biggest financial goal and then feel completely lost and what it taught her about purpose over money Why confidence is not something you are born with but something you build by being honest about what you want and aligning your actions to match   If you have ever felt like you had to choose between being taken seriously and being fully yourself. If you have ever worried that your success would be attributed to someone else. If you have ever played smaller than you should because the people around you were not ready for your next level. This episode is going to light a fire under you.   Access my free training, Breaking The Upper Limits here

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's newly announced expansion ahead of the World Cup, the suddenly accelerating deterioration of the Uber/Waymo relationship, and the partnerships that actually matter for Uber's autonomous future.As Waymo expanded their U.S. service area by 1,400 square miles across 11 cities, Uber continued to amplify both their direct and indirect attacks against Waymo in the media and in a self-published report about deploying autonomous vehicles.Even as the deterioration of the relationship spreads into the news, Walt notes that the divorce narrative is already largely priced into Uber's stock, but the more interesting question is what happens next with Uber's remaining partners.Nuro recently opened an engineering and partnerships office in Munich, home to BMW, with Lucid notably absent from the press release and personally-owned autonomous vehicles mentioned directly. On the WeRide earnings call, the company outlined European expansion plans including Slovakia and made the case for a unified Level 2 to Level 4 platform.Wrapping up the conversation, Grayson and Walt discussed Volvo Autonomous Solutions' new Dallas-to-Houston lane and what the true definition of autonomous and what defines supervised.Episode Chapters00:00 Waymo's World Cup Expansion03:59 Waymo's Unforced Error05:08 The Waymo/Uber Divorce Narrative Goes Mainstream14:51 Nuro Opens Munich Office20:26 WeRide Eyes a Unified L2-to-L4 Platform22:47 Volvo Autonomous Solutions Dallas-to-Houston Lane23:49 What Defines Driverless31:39 Foreign Autonomy Desk32:04 Next Week--------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.

What was supposed to be a late-night drive to the hospital turned into a delivery room on wheels. This week on The Ebone Zone, we break down the unbelievable story of a mother in Cumbria who gave birth to her daughter while riding in the passenger seat of a speeding BMW through flooded roads. With contractions escalating, panic setting in, and the hospital still minutes away, the baby arrived before they could even pull over. From the chaos inside the car to the aftermath of one of the most intense childbirth stories you'll ever hear, this episode explores how quickly life can change when there's no time left for a plan. We also get into the reactions surrounding the story, the pressure of emergency moments, and why some real-life events sound more unbelievable than fiction. This Week's Featured Hashtag#IRewardMyselfByOther Interesting ThingsListen to “A Baby, A Parking Lot and a Promise” Send a text to The Ebone Zone!

Mentre il match di Darderi è durato fino alle 2 di notte, Lazio-Inter è finita presto e Chivu ha conquistato il suo primo Doblete. Non è finita, invece, la confusione sui calendari. Ne parliamo con Ivan Zazzaroni, direttore del Corriere dello Sport.Certamente anche il Giro d'Italia non ha fatto mancare nulla allo spettacolo con la tappa di ieri Praia a Mare-Potenza con pioggia, cadute e strade sbagliate. Si sarà divertito anche il nostro corrispondente dal Giro Pier Augusto Stagi.Ci mettiamo alle spalle la 6h di Spa con la BMW che ha fatto il pieno e ora manca un mese alla 24h di Le Mans. Il punto su quello che fino ad ora ci ha detto il WEC con Gionata Ferroni e Giorgio Sernagiotto, coach del team Cetilar Racing.

El fin de semana dejó dos grandes protagonistas fuera de la Fórmula 1: Christian Lundgaard y BMW. Uno triunfó en el circuito rutero de Indianápolis con una maniobra memorable; el otro devolvió a la marca bávara a lo más alto de la resistencia mundial casi tres décadas después. Y en esas dos carreras se centra el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. El mayo de Indianápolis empieza a dar espectáculo… y sorpresas. En la IndyCar, Christian Lundgaard firmó una de las victorias más importantes de su carrera en el Sonsio Grand Prix disputado en Indianápolis. El piloto danés del equipo Arrow McLaren protagonizó el adelantamiento decisivo sobre David Malukas en una maniobra espectacular que rápidamente se convirtió en una de las imágenes del año. La acción se produjo en la zona técnica previa a la recta trasera del IMS. Lundgaard, aprovechando una mejor temperatura de neumáticos tras haber parado una vuelta antes, lanzó un ataque agresivo pero limpio que le permitió hacerse con el liderato sin contacto alguno. La maniobra resumió perfectamente el espíritu de una categoría donde el pilotaje directo sigue siendo protagonista. Mala suerte para Alex Palou. La carrera, sin embargo, también estuvo marcada por la mala fortuna de Álex Palou. El español dominó buena parte del inicio tras salir desde la pole y parecía encaminado hacia otra victoria, pero una neutralización cambió completamente el desarrollo estratégico de la prueba. La decisión de no entrar inmediatamente en boxes bajo bandera amarilla terminó condenando sus opciones. Aun así, Palou volvió a demostrar por qué lidera cómodamente el campeonato: remontó desde el fondo del grupo hasta finalizar quinto, ampliando incluso su ventaja en la clasificación general gracias a los problemas de sus principales rivales. Con las 500 Millas de Indianápolis a la vuelta de la esquina, el campeonato entra ahora en su momento más importante de la temporada. WEC: Spa da espectáculo. Mientras tanto, en Spa-Francorchamps, el Mundial de Resistencia vivió una carrera caótica, estratégica y espectacular que terminó con un resultado histórico: BMW logró su primera victoria absoluta en resistencia internacional desde Le Mans 1999. El BMW M Team WRT construyó el triunfo a través de una apuesta estratégica arriesgada y perfectamente ejecutada. El equipo aprovechó las múltiples intervenciones del coche de seguridad y una gestión impecable para convertir una salida desde la décima y undécima posición en un doblete memorable. René Rast, Sheldon van der Linde y Robin Frijns lideraron el coche ganador, mientras que el segundo BMW resistió heroicamente los ataques de Ferrari y Toyota en las últimas vueltas gracias a una defensa magistral de un viejo conocido de la F1: Kevin Magnussen. ¿Dónde estuvieron Toyota y Ferrari? Ferrari volvió a mostrarse competitivo, pero pequeños errores en boxes y problemas puntuales les alejaron de la victoria. Toyota tampoco logró encontrar el ritmo suficiente para luchar por el triunfo, mientras Aston Martin firmó su mejor resultado hasta la fecha en Hypercar con un sólido cuarto puesto. La carrera también dejó decepciones importantes para Alpine y Peugeot, ambos fuera de combate cuando parecían candidatos claros al podio. Spa volvió a demostrar por qué es uno de los grandes escenarios del automovilismo mundial: estrategia, lluvia, accidentes, luchas cuerpo a cuerpo y cambios constantes de situación. Y ahora, el horizonte ya apunta hacia Le Mans, que rematará, junto al GP de España de F1, uno de los meses más apasionantes en el MotorSport.

Executive VP Stella Li has directed engineers to keep European variants under 4.3 metres, with separate B- and C-segment standards, as BYD stops adapting China-market models and instead builds vehicles tailored to dense European cities.MAZDA DELAYS DEDICATED EV TO 2029Mazda has pushed back its first dedicated EV platform by two years to 2029 and cut EV investment by nearly half, shifting resources toward hybrids and China-sourced electrified products. Before 2029, Mazda will sell China-built EVs — effectively rebadged Changan Automobile models — in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.AUTOMAKERS SEEK NEW EU CO2 CONCESSIONSVolkswagen Group, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz met EU officials in Brussels on 13 May to press for further flexibility on the bloc's 2035 emissions targets, despite having already won concessions just months ago. Germany's VDA lobby warned that the country's auto sector could shed up to 125,000 additional jobs by 2035 without meaningful improvement in competitiveness.OPEL PREVIEWS 207 KW CORSA GSEOpel has revealed the all-electric Corsa GSE, which it claims will be the fastest-accelerating production Opel ever built, with a 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds from a front-mounted 207 kW permanent magnet motor. The car rides on Stellantis' e-CMP platform and features a Torsen limited-slip differential, Alcon four-piston brakes, lowered sports suspension, and uprated battery thermal management.AUSTRALIA DELAYS FEDERAL EV ROAD CHARGEAustralia's federal government has paused its EV road user charge, opting to first develop a coordinated policy with state and territory governments following the High Court's 2023 ruling that struck down Victoria's version. The budget also restructures EV fringe benefits tax support, narrowing the full FBT exemption from April 2027 to EVs priced at A$75,000 or below on novated leases, before shifting to a 25% FBT reduction for all EVs under the luxury car tax threshold from April 2029.GERMAN OPERATORS BACK ELECTRIC TRUCKSA German study by the Institute for Applied Ecology found that 93% of transport companies already running electric trucks are satisfied or very satisfied, citing high reliability, driving comfort, and low operating costs. The same share expect electric trucks to become the standard fleet vehicle by 2030, though operators flagged high upfront costs and depot grid connection complexity as the main barriers.AI CHARGING METHOD CUTS EV BATTERY WEARResearchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed an AI-driven fast-charging method using reinforcement learning that extends EV battery life by 23% without adding to charge times. The system adapts charging current to each battery's state of health and electrochemistry in real time, reducing internal wear and the risk of lithium plating compared to current one-size-fits-all charging protocols.FIRST BUS TESTS DEPOTS AS GRID ASSETSFirst Bus has launched a trial using its electric bus depot infrastructure to support the National Grid, intelligently scheduling charging to absorb surplus Scottish wind power that would otherwise be curtailed. The UK's largest electric bus operator, with over 1,400 zero-emission vehicles, argues the scheme can cut wasted renewable energy, support grid stability, and improve the economics of fleet electrification.LUCID PUTS UK LAUNCH BACK TO 2028Lucid has delayed its UK market entry to early 2028 — the third such postponement — with European President Lawrence Hamilton saying the firm must sequence its expansion carefully after entering seven or eight more continental European markets in 2026 first. Lucid will skip bringing the current Air and Gravity models to the UK, instead launching only on its new mid-size 800-volt platform with the Cosmos coupé-crossover and Earth SUV variants, built on the Atlas drive unit that cuts manufacturing costs by 37%.UK E-VAN RULES EASE FROM 2026From June 2026, the UK government will remove regulatory barriers for electric vans weighing between 3.5 and 4.25 tonnes, aligning them with equivalent diesel and petrol vehicles under the Class 7 MOT framework with a first MOT due after three years rather than one. Driver hours rules will also change, removing mandatory tachograph use and base-distance restrictions, with operators set to save up to 60% on MOT costs under the new regime.UK USED EV SALES HIT Q1 RECORDUK used EV sales hit a record 86,943 units in Q1 2026, up 32% year on year, with around one in 23 used car buyers choosing an EV compared to one in 30 in the same period last year. The surge is being driven by growing used EV supply from strong prior new car sales, lower prices, and improving buyer confidence in battery longevity.

In this episode of Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan, the disappearance of Matthew Weaver follows a strange drive into the Santa Monica Mountains that still leaves more questions than answers. What starts with a late-night meeting, an emotional conversation, a Snapchat trail, and a BMW found hanging near Rosas Overlook quickly turns into a disturbing mystery involving screams heard on a 911 call, missing belongings, a hat and torn shirt found later, a dropped car key, and a family still fighting for the truth.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Roger Whitney kicks off a new series on decluttering for retirement, explaining how the accumulation of “stuff”—from physical belongings to financial accounts to relationships—can unconsciously shape our decisions and limit our ability to envision a fulfilling next chapter. He reframes retirement as a rare opportunity to reset your identity, let go of what no longer serves you, and intentionally design a life aligned with who you want to become.  The episode wraps with listener questions across a variety of retirement planning topics, including follow-ups on last week's discussion around longevity. OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE RETIREMENT ANSWER MAN(00:00) Roger introduces retirement as a “refresh” moment and explains why decluttering is essential to stepping into a new identity. (01:11) Roger outlines the month-long decluttering series and introduces the three key domains: things, money, and relationships.ROCKIN' RETIREMENT IN THE WILD(3:43) Will realized that selling his BMW wasn't about the car, but about letting go of a past version of himself and it inspired him to keep decluttering. PRACTICAL PLANNING SEGMENT(05:13) Roger defines the core problem of clutter, explaining how accumulated decisions create overwhelm and limit future possibilities.(07:42) Roger explores physical clutter and how decades of possessions tied to past life stages can prevent you from envisioning a new lifestyle.(13:32) He breaks down financial clutter, including scattered accounts and legacy investments, and why simplification becomes critical in retirement.(17:26) Roger discusses relationship and obligation clutter, emphasizing the need to be intentional about who and what you invest your time in.LISTENER QUESTIONS(22:20) A widow shares her experience navigating longevity risk and loss, prompting a discussion on planning flexibility, spending, and building a support network.(29:33) Roger responds to a listener's approach to modeling longevity scenarios and explains how to use projections to inform better life decisions rather than just optimize numbers.(35:30) He evaluates whether an annuity recommendation actually solves a meaningful problem or simply adds complexity.(41:30) Roger discusses the trade-offs between saving more versus using existing cash, highlighting flexibility and optionality in retirement planning.SMART SPRINT(46:07) Spend time this week identifying areas of clutter in your things, money, and relationships and simply observe what may no longer be serving you.CLOSING THOUGHTS(47:20) Roger reflects on listener feedback and The Noodle Live.REFERENCESSubmit a Question for RogerSign up for The NoodleNote: The opinions expressed are for informational purposes only and should not replace personalized advice from licensed professionals.
