Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled his vision for an AI-powered utopia that mostly boils down to "trust humanity to do the right thing," which is a bold statement from the guy whose $300 million yacht apparently couldn't hear a Coast Guard distress call from a stranded family. Elsewhere, an AI agent booked a gym class by exploiting a security hole and kicking someone else off the waitlist, because nothing says "personal assistant" like accidental cybercrime. The EU is now requiring labels on realistic AI generated content, China is breaking up people and their chatbot companions, and OpenAI reportedly has achieved the ultimate AI ethics breakthrough: having no dedicated ethicist.The surveillance dystopia is also picking up speed. Flock tried to turn hundreds of thousands of rideshare and delivery drivers into a roving army of license-plate snitches, while every Flock camera in one Minnesota city was promptly sawed down and stolen. Meta's smart glasses continue their transformation into the preferred accessory of creeps and pickup-artist assholes, prompting pubs and other venues to ban them outright. Researchers found those glasses being used to secretly record and harass women, proving once again that every shiny new piece of wearable technology eventually gets repurposed as a tool for human depravity. And because apparently your car dashboard wasn't already commercial enough, BMW is now putting Spider-Man ads on the screens you paid tens of thousands of dollars to own.Finally, Apple is facing a class-action lawsuit over an iCloud Private Relay flaw that can expose your supposedly private IP address, Anthropic is watermarking Claude-generated text, SpaceXAI is taking another year to remove a pile of unpermitted gas turbines, and somebody is apparently stealing millions of dollars in AI hardware straight off California highways. We also hit Media Candy with Strange New Worlds, Silo, Broadchurch, Ted Lasso, and The X-Files, sweat through yet another Apple Fitness disaster, celebrate the sweet relief of escaping Spark, and ask the eternal Gen-X question: how did all this technology supposedly make life easier when we're still just sitting here surrounded by 47 goddamn tabs?Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Impulse von Mister KI:   Mit dem Ziel beginnen, nicht mit dem Tool: Professioneller KI-Einsatz setzt Klarheit darüber voraus, welches Problem gelöst und welcher konkrete Mehrwert erzielt werden soll. Schlechte Prozesse werden durch KI nicht automatisch besser: Bevor Unternehmen automatisieren, sollten sie Abläufe, Daten und Strukturen überprüfen und den Prozess konsequent digital neu denken. KI-Agenten brauchen Leitplanken: Begrenzte Berechtigungen, abgeschottete Testumgebungen und gründliche Tests verhindern, dass aus vermeintlicher Effizienz ein kostspieliges Risiko wird. Der Mensch wird nicht unwichtiger, sondern anders wichtig: Überblick, Erfahrung, Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und Empathie bleiben menschliche Stärken. Gute Führung nutzt KI, um dafür wieder mehr Zeit zu schaffen. Interviewpartner: Heiko Knödel, Diplom-Informatiker, Unternehmer und Experte für Künstliche Intelligenz Im Interview: Heiko Knödel alias Mr. KI KI soll uns nicht das Denken abnehmen. Sie soll uns die Zeit dafür zurückgeben. Künstliche Intelligenz ist in vielen Unternehmen längst im Einsatz – allerdings häufig ohne gemeinsame Strategie, klare Regeln oder definierte Ziele. Mitarbeitende nutzen ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot und andere Anwendungen, doch vielfach kaum anders als eine Suchmaschine. Der erhoffte Produktivitätsgewinn bleibt dann aus – während Kosten und Risiken steigen. Bei Themen-Radio erklärt Heiko Knödel, bekannt als „Mr. KI“, wie Unternehmen aus ersten Experimenten einen professionellen und wirtschaftlich sinnvollen KI-Einsatz entwickeln. Sein wichtigster Rat: Nicht mit der Auswahl eines Tools beginnen, sondern mit der Frage, welches Problem gelöst und welcher konkrete Mehrwert erreicht werden soll. Dafür müssen Unternehmen ihre Prozesse, Datenstrukturen und Sicherheitsanforderungen kennen. Denn ein schlechter oder analog gedachter Prozess wird nicht automatisch besser, nur weil KI eingesetzt wird. Wie groß der Nutzen sein kann, zeigt Heiko Knödel anhand eigener Beispiele. Für ein hochwertiges Handout zu einer Präsentation benötigte er früher vier bis acht Stunden – heute entsteht es mithilfe von KI innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Auch Teile seiner Buchhaltung hat er automatisiert. Insgesamt investiert er nach eigener Aussage monatlich 15 bis 20 Stunden in KI, spart damit aber mindestens 40 Arbeitsstunden ein. Entscheidend ist dabei seine Erfahrung: Wie bei einem Mitarbeitenden definiert er Aufgaben, Grenzen und Sicherheitsvorkehrungen präzise. Besondere Vorsicht ist bei KI-Agenten geboten, die selbstständig auf Daten und Systeme zugreifen. Heiko empfiehlt, deren Berechtigungen klar zu begrenzen, sie zunächst in abgeschotteten Testumgebungen einzusetzen und vor dem produktiven Einsatz gründlich zu prüfen. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, welche Regeln Unternehmen für den Umgang mit Daten, die Auswahl von Anwendungen, Verantwortlichkeiten und die Qualifizierung ihrer Beschäftigten benötigen. Doch KI-Einführung ist nicht allein ein Technologieprojekt. Sie ist vor allem eine Führungsaufgabe. Führungskräfte müssen Orientierung geben, Ängste ernst nehmen und deutlich machen, wie KI die Menschen unterstützen kann. Richtig eingesetzt, soll sie ihnen nicht das Denken abnehmen, sondern wieder mehr Zeit dafür verschaffen. Denn bei aller Leistungsfähigkeit fehlen der KI weiterhin menschlicher Gesamtblick, Erfahrung, Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und echte Empathie. Im Gespräch zeigt Heiko Knödel, warum gerade diese Fähigkeiten in einer zunehmend KI-geprägten Arbeitswelt noch wertvoller werden.   Der Mensch Heiko Knödel – „Mr. KI®“Heiko Knödel ist Diplom-Informatiker, Unternehmer, Speaker, Trainer und Autor. Bereits in den 1990er-Jahren beschäftigte er sich mit der Digitalisierung von Prozessen. Später arbeitete er in verantwortlichen Führungs- und Projektpositionen unter anderem für die Deutsche Bank sowie in Projekten bei Porsche, BMW und Merck. Heute vermittelt und implementiert er Künstliche Intelligenz in Unternehmen – von konkreten Anwendungsfällen und Prozessautomatisierung über KI-Strategie und Governance bis zu Datenschutz, Compliance und dem Aufbau sicherer Arbeitsumgebungen. Sein besonderes Profil entsteht aus der Verbindung von technologischer Expertise, Führungserfahrung und menschlicher Empathie. Als NLP-Master begleitet er Menschen und Organisationen auch bei den Veränderungen, die mit der Einführung von KI verbunden sind. Gemeinsam mit dem Würzburger Informatikprofessor Dietmar Seipel veröffentlichte er 2025 im Springer-Verlag das Buch „KI und Bots im Alltag – Künstliche Intelligenz verstehen und für Business, Home & Schule nutzen“.

In August 2018, 21-year-old Matthew Weaver Jr. drove into California's Santa Monica Mountains and seemingly vanished. Hours after sending unsettling messages to a friend, Matthew stopped responding. Later that night, witnesses reported hearing screams for help, and his silver BMW was discovered abandoned near Rosas Overlook.Years later, Matthew remains missing. Strange phone activity, evidence found months afterward, questions surrounding the initial search, and other troubling events in the same mountains have left his family searching for answers.What happened to Matthew Weaver Jr.?

For the CEO of Kurt Geiger, cars are a “third space” between work and family. From owning one of just 13 Bristol Fighters ever built to driving a BMW 5 Series Touring Alpina B5, which he calls the “Swiss Army knife of cars,” Neil Clifford combines a passion for fashion with an eye for exceptional automobiles. Discover more and follow us: BMW Classic on Instagram @bmwclassicMini Classic on Instagram @official_miniclassicJP on Instagram @jprathgenClassic Driver on Instagram @classicdriver Become a guest on the Classic Heart podcast:You have an exciting story about classic BMW to tell?

Toyota RAV 4 – Der erste seiner Art Der RAV 4 kommt recht zierlich daher. Gerade mal 3,70m lang, abgerundete Kanten, viel Bodenfreiheit. Man fühlt sich an die Spaßmobile der Buggy-Ära erinnert und genau das hatte die Toyota-Entwickler auch im Sinn, als sie den Prototypen RAV Four 1989 auf der Tokyo-Motorshow vorstellten. Der japanische Autokonzern hatte zunächst keinen blassen Schimmer davon, was für einen Hype sie mit dem kleinen All-Terrain-Flitzer auslösen würden. Die Fachpresse und das Publikum waren von dem frechen Design und von der Idee eines kompakten Freizeitmobils so begeistert, dass 1991 die Serienentwicklung beschlossen wurde. 1994 wurde das Serienmodell RAV 4 auf dem Genfer Autosalon der Welt präsentiert. Damit löste Toyota nicht mehr und nicht weniger als den SUV-Hype aus: En Fahrzeug mit Allradantrieb, das aber trotzdem alltags- und stadttauglich ist. Kein harter Geländewagen, sondern ein City-Flitzer, mit dem man durchaus auch über unbefestigte Straßen brettern konnte. Mittlerweile zählt der RAV 4 über alle Fahrzeuggenerationen hinweg als meistverkaufter SUV überhaupt. Das ausgerechnet der zierliche Toyota für die panzerähnlichen Bomber von Audi, BMW und Co. verantwortlich ist – das hätte damals wohl niemand vermutet. Noch ist der kleine Allrader als Klassiker unbedeutend, was sich in naher Zukunft wohl ändern dürfte. Eine gute Ersatzteilsituation, eine absolute Alltagstauglichkeit und unübertroffene Robustheit in seiner Klasse machen den RAV 4 zum interessanten Youngtimer. Frederic würde das Cabrio haben wollen, Ron die geschlossene Variante, beide präferieren den kurzen Dreitürer. Bei den Motoren gibt es keine Wahl und so sind sich die beiden Freunde ziemlich einig – der SUV der ersten Stunde hat das Zeug zum Kultauto. Was das alles mit Sacco-Brettern, Lederausstattung und Leiterahmen zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

What if your service drive became one of your dealership's most powerful—and consistent—vehicle sales channels? In this episode of Service Drive Revolution, Chris Collins, Hogi, and Adam reveal how dealerships can turn everyday service appointments into organic sales and trade-in opportunities without making customers feel pressured. The key isn't occasionally sending a salesperson into the drive—it's building a dedicated system where sales and service operate as one team. You'll discover how to: • Embed dedicated salespeople inside the service department • Use equity mining to identify the right opportunities • Incentivize advisors to facilitate strong customer handoffs • Introduce trade-in conversations before the appointment • Acquire valuable used inventory without relying on auctions • Use maintenance programs to create familiarity, trust, and retention • Build toward the future "portfolio manager" model—one person managing the customer's entire ownership journey The team also breaks down leadership lessons from Hard Knocks, explains why attention reveals a leader's true priorities, and explores how great systems make exceptional performance repeatable. If your dealership has "tried selling from the service drive" before and it didn't work, this episode will show you what was probably missing. #ServiceDriveRevolution #FixedOps #AutomotiveLeadership #AutomotiveSales #ServiceDrive #DealershipTraining

Could Tesla really leave China—the market and manufacturing base that helped transform it into the world's most valuable automaker?In Episode #256 of China EVs & More, Tu Le and Lei Xing unpack reports that Tesla could potentially sell, spin off or close its China operations as Elon Musk considers a closer combination between Tesla and SpaceX.The implications would be enormous.Giga Shanghai accounts for roughly half of Tesla's global vehicle output, serves more than two million Tesla owners in China and remains a critical export hub supplying markets around the world.Tu and Lei debate whether Tesla could realistically walk away, who could possibly acquire Giga Shanghai, what the move could mean for Tesla's FSD ambitions in China—and whether the report could be signaling something deeper about Tesla's expectations for its automotive business.Then the conversation turns to another major disruption: Xiaomi's new SkyNomad EREV family SUVs.After finding enormous success with the SU7 and YU7, Xiaomi is now targeting the large family-SUV segment dominated by companies such as Li Auto.With the seven-seat N90 Max expected to start below RMB300,000 and offering a massive 76-kWh battery, 60-liter fuel tank and approximately 1,705 km of combined range, Xiaomi is once again using aggressive pricing to reset expectations.In this episode:• Could Tesla really sell or spin off its China business?• Why Giga Shanghai remains critical to Tesla's global manufacturing strategy• Tesla, SpaceX and the potential conflicts created by a merger• What happens to Tesla if FSD never receives full approval in China?• Who could realistically buy Tesla's Shanghai factory?• Tesla's growing reliance on exports from China• Xiaomi's new SkyNomad N90 and N70 family SUVs• Why Xiaomi's pricing should worry Li Auto• Xiaomi's highly automated Beijing factory• Why Xiaomi's latest technology event disappointed some investors• Audi's China-only EV strategy and Momenta-powered ADAS• BMW, Porsche and the continuing challenges facing German automakers• Why NIO is prioritizing profitability over global expansion• Battery swapping vs. charging outside China• How quickly ICE vehicles could disappear from China's domestic market• Why China's unwanted ICE capacity could eventually flood emerging marketsIf you want to understand the forces reshaping the world's largest automotive market—and what they mean for Tesla, Xiaomi, BYD, NIO, XPeng and the global automotive industry—subscribe to China EVs & More.Hosted by Tu Le of Sino Auto Insights and Lei Xing, bringing decades of firsthand experience covering China's automotive, EV, AV and mobility industries.

Photo by Zac Taheriyan on Unsplash Published 10 August 2026 e564 with Michael, Andy and Michael – a spider filled episode with AdTech and lifesaving robotic implications, VR Mario Kart, quantum lawn mowing, identity management and a whole lot more! Michael, Andy and Michael begin the episode with Spider-Man showing up in an unexpected place – a BMW infotainment system!  The negative reactions from the articles and cohosts were not surprising.  The team have discussed ads you don't want showing up where you don't want them – like on automotive windshields, in AR, and more – see e481 from 2024 in the links below for more on this. The team shifts to a more enjoyable driving experience, where Andy describes what he did to enable a VR version of Mario Kart.  Next up – a reflection on 30 years of Quake with an anniversary release.  Then, appealing to the team's sensibilities on mowing lawns and penchant for NP quantum problems, a lawn mowing optimization game from Pudding.   Switching from software to hardware, the cohosts take a look at a surprising smaller than expected device called the Octopus 16 which measures EEG brain signals to allow the user to control a computer.  See the show notes below for the original box for the Emotiv headset from the July 2015 kickstarter. Then, the titular post for this show, a new robot based on nature for rescuing people who are drowning.  The inspiration for this robot was a fishing spider who walks on water to capture its prey.  Your show notes thankfully do not include pictures of such spiders, though if you click through to the Arxiv paper, there is a picture, so consider yourself warned.  While not discussed in this episode, Dr. Kate Darling's book The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals about Our Future with Robots explores social and ethical themes on robotics that fit nicely into this theme.  Michael M had a chance to hear her speak at Duke earlier this year and an article about that talk is included in the notes below. Rounding out the show, the team wraps up with an identity service from Meta called Facebook Verified.  This free service is intended to help identify when a person is a human and distinguish from AI agents.  The cohosts shared thoughts about this topic and the service before the recording time was exhausted. Aside from spiders, what other robotic form factors based on the animal and insect kingdom would you want to see?  Have your bots

Google underwent a big AI shakeup this week, leaving a lot of people wondering whether there are big problems on team Gemini. David and Nilay start the show by discussing what's next for Jeff Dean and Demis Hassabis, before diving into the ways in which Google and Reddit have become existentially, problematically dependent on one another. After that, we talk through Disney's plan to turn Disney Plus into an everything app, and all the reasons we think that's a terrible idea and a sign of big problems in the streaming biz. Finally, in the lightning round, Brendan Carr is still a dummy, Snapchat wants AI out of your feed, and BMW has a Spider-Man to sell you.

This episode starts with stormy weather and surprisingly good moods before spiraling into one of those classic Rizz Show conversations where absolutely nothing stays on the rails. One minute everyone's discussing thunderstorms, Jason Sklar stopping by the show, and preparations for Rizz's upcoming birthday celebration. The next minute, an unexpected study claims that 47 is the happiest age of your life, immediately putting Rizz under the microscope as the crew debates whether he's actually become a happier human being over the years.That naturally leads to a full-on birthday debate. Are you someone who celebrates for an entire week with parties, brunches, vacations, and enough cake to feed a small town? Or are you the type who hopes nobody notices your birthday at all? The crew dives into the psychology behind birthday people versus birthday avoiders, sharing stories about how their own families handled birthdays growing up and how the show's attitude toward celebrating has completely changed over the years.Along the way, they confess the embarrassing things they learned way too late in life. From believing Elton John was blind because of his sunglasses to confusing Jimmy Buffett with Warren Buffett, nobody escapes the roast. Lauren admits her biggest regret is never paying attention in history class, while everyone else piles on with stories that somehow become even more ridiculous.Then it's time for one of the greatest grocery store discussions ever recorded. Boomers' biggest complaints about modern shopping somehow evolve into a business pitch involving off-road grocery carts, dune buggies with shopping baskets, lift kits for grabbing cereal off the top shelf, Bluetooth speakers, themed vehicles, and of course, an extensive update on the latest developments in Uncrustables technology. Yes... refrigerated Uncrustables become breaking news. Yes... everyone takes it completely seriously.The chaos keeps rolling with questionable life advice passed down from older generations, hilarious family sayings that somehow stuck forever, and a continuation of yesterday's impossible moral dilemma involving crimes, saving dogs, and making the world a better place in the weirdest ways imaginable.Later, the conversation turns surprisingly wholesome as the crew discusses new research into helping dogs live healthier, longer lives. Would you pay thousands of dollars for a few more healthy years with your best friend? Everyone has a different answer, and the discussion gets unexpectedly heartfelt before immediately swerving back into shark attacks, dangerous animals across America, and why Missouri's deadliest creature isn't nearly as exciting as you'd hope.As always, the conversation refuses to stay in one lane for more than a few minutes. That's exactly what makes this daily comedy show feel like you're hanging out with friends who accidentally turn every headline into an hour of laughs, random tangents, and conversations nobody saw coming.Whether you're here for birthday debates, grocery store adventures, ridiculous hypotheticals, weird news, celebrity mentions, or the latest in frozen sandwich innovation, Episode 49 delivers another unpredictable ride from The Rizzuto Show.Sometimes the show writes itself... and sometimes history, celebrity news, and complete nonsense all decide to show up at the exact same time.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, the crew kicks things off with "This Day in History," featuring everything from the first electric chair execution to the anniversary of the Enola Gay mission, classic Beatles releases, MTV nostalgia, Pineapple Express, Hamilton, and a whole lot more. It's somehow educational... if your history teacher had severe ADHD.The crew also takes a heartfelt moment to remember St. Louis jewelry legend John Reusch, whose impact stretched far beyond engagement rings. Rizz and Moon share personal stories about what made him such a special part of so many families' biggest moments, making this one of the most genuine conversations you'll hear on the show.Then it's back to the chaos.Lern brings a stacked edition of Crap on Celebrities featuring Weezer's newest single, the unexpected return of the New Radicals after decades away, Queens of the Stone Age inviting fans to literally call and complain, Deftones climbing the charts again thanks to Netflix, and a surprisingly honest conversation about Whoopi Goldberg's massive paycheck from The View.Things only get weirder from there.The crew dives into the upcoming O.J. Simpson documentary that explores the bizarre hidden-camera prank show that almost became something entirely different. They somehow spiral into discussing obscure cult movies like Gentlemen Broncos, reality TV addictions, BMW dashboards serving advertisements, Charlie Sheen's brand-new podcast, and whether anyone actually wants more access to the show via a complaint hotline.Naturally, the episode wraps the only way The Rizzuto Show knows how—with celebrity birthdays, one of the most ridiculous porno birthdays ever, and enough sarcasm to keep everyone employed another day.If you love ridiculous conversations that somehow mix heartfelt moments with celebrity nonsense, weird news, music, movies, and pop culture, you've found your people.This daily comedy show delivers everything from celebrity gossip to bizarre history lessons, random rabbit holes, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense before 10 a.m.Whether you're listening on the drive to work, pretending to work, or hiding from responsibilities altogether, thanks for hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, your favorite daily comedy show and home for unpredictable conversations, St. Louis humor, and the kind of comedy that absolutely shouldn't work... but somehow always does.If today's episode made you laugh, share it with a friend who also appreciates complete conversational whiplash.An unexpectedly wholesome note with stories that restore your faith in humanity. A Wisconsin man hands over the keys to his SUV so a stranded rock band can finish its tour. A father and son complete an entire year of playing catch every single day. A tiny Chihuahua's strange habit helps detect a dangerous illness before it's too late. It's the kind of start that makes you think everyone on the show is about to become better people.That feeling doesn't last long.The crew immediately launches into another round of the legendary Bean Boozled "Good or Gross" game, where listeners win concert tickets while the show risks tasting everything from rotten eggs and boogers to barf, toothpaste, dirty dishwater and dead fish. Somehow, against all odds, this becomes one of the luckiest rounds they've ever played... although luck is a relative term when toothpaste counts as a win.The conversation only gets weirder from there.How much money would you need before willingly giving up inches of your height forever? Would you become Danny DeVito-sized for a million dollars? Would you sacrifice ten inches for fifty million? The crew debates every ridiculous scenario while discovering everyone values their height a little differently.Then things unexpectedly get surprisingly honest when listener emails spark a conversation about saying "I love you" first in a relationship. How long is too long to wait for someone to say it back? What happens if they never do? One listener's real-life story turns into one of the more thoughtful discussions of the episode before everyone quickly returns to making fun of each other.Listener emails also inspire debates about fake email addresses for stores that insist on collecting your information, why prescription medications deserve cooler superhero names, and whether our parents' inability to throw anything away is simply leftover survival instinct passed down through generations.Like every daily comedy podcast, the episode bounces effortlessly between heartfelt stories, ridiculous games, bizarre hypotheticals, listener interaction and nonstop sarcastic commentary that somehow keeps the entire morning moving.Whether you're here for the disgusting Bean Boozled reactions, the hilarious debates, the weird listener emails or simply looking for your next daily comedy podcast, Episode 158 delivers another completely unpredictable morning with The Rizzuto Show. If your favorite kind of entertainment is watching grown adults argue about shrinking themselves for millions of dollars while trying not to throw up from jelly beans that taste like fish, congratulations—you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Why 47 is the age you hit peak happiness, according to sciencePeople Are Sharing The One Thing They Learned Way Late In Life, And It's Hilariously RelatableUncrustables Just Made A Big Change That PB&J People Will AppreciateWild list shows which animal is most likely to kill you based on the state you live inMillennials Are Sharing The Worst Advice They've Ever Received From Boomers And My Mouth Is AgapeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Triumph! General Wakemen Problems Couldn't Stop The Charge!The regular Everyone Racers crew missed the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park—but Uncle Dave was there, and Jeff makes his triumphant return to explain exactly how much trouble two experienced amateur racers can find in one weekend.In this EVAP episode 446; Mental eats Lamb Chops at an AC/DC concert, Tim drunk finishes 2nd in a golf tourney, but #1 in fun, Chrissy consoles Jeff for a blend line violation and Chris helps Hack Factory win B. Really we welcome back Uncle Dave and Jeff to discuss the Thompson Race last weekend! BTW, if Jeff had listened last week about the blend line, they would have won. Yep, episode 446 is the complete Thompson Lemons race recap: test day, tech inspection, race strategy, fast pit stops, questionable traffic, award-winning themes, broken race cars and the relentless phenomenon known as “General Wakeman Problems.”Dave arrives with his 1986 Toyota Cressida freshly repaired after New Jersey: transmission, clutch, driveshaft, center support bearing, universal joint and a questionable hub. The Cressida develops a vicious one-wheel peel during Friday testing, so Dave adjusts the cross weight until the car finally hooks up, then spends the rest of the day fighting a generator that works perfectly until the sun comes out.Naturally, Thompson still delivers a torrential downpour.With only Dave and Jeff driving Saturday's nine-hour race, the Cressida climbs from roughly 31st to sixth overall. Their reward is a broken cool-shirt system, an accidental fire-extinguisher discharge during a pit stop, Dave taking extinguisher powder directly to the face and a dehydrated Jeff discovering that his drink tube now tastes like fire-suppression chemicals.Sunday somehow gets better.An exceptional pit stop puts Jeff back on track during a full-course yellow, where he immediately accepts a friendly wave into traffic and earns a blend-line violation black flag. He recovers, drives the Cressida into the top five and puts the team within reach of a podium.Then, with approximately 40 minutes remaining, a another car locks its brakes and hits the Cressida's right-front wheel. Jeff limps the damaged car back with a binding brake, ending their charge toward third place.But General Wakeman Problems do not respect the checkered flag.While packing, Jeff crushes his phone in the hatch of his Veloster N, discovers its battery is dead after the hatch stayed open all weekend and drives home unable to restart the car at fuel or meal stops.We also cover the Thompson award winners and themes, cage-tech lessons, tow-strap rules, aggressive traffic, race results and why a well-built 180-horsepower Toyota can embarrass much faster machinery through consistency and strong pit work.Elsewhere in Episode 446:• P0446 EVAP-code misery • Mental's work on the Project 213 land-speed Ghia • AC/DC with luxury-box lamb chops • Lotus wiring removal and DIY camping batteries • Garage insulation and kitchen remodeling • Competitive yoga at Red Rocks • New Jersey police disguised as shrubbery • Subaru's attempt to make its cars more funCops in NJ Wearing Gilly Suits (Stephen Edelstein @ The Drive) https://www.thedrive.com/news/cops-imitating-plants-catch-74-drivers-on-their-phones-in-six-hoursSubaru launches SVPO for fun!

BMW owners are upset after an ad was seen for Spider Man on their cars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rundown is back and this week is all about backlash. Backlash against AI slop, against automating parenting, and against putting ads in your $60K BMW. They kick off with LinkedIn testing a "Sounds Like AI Slop" button, Snapchat banning AI from Spotlight, and YouTube nuking 130,000 channels overnight. Then Sam Altman gets roasted for suggesting ChatGPT generate podcasts for his kids (just talk to your children, Sam), and OpenAI catches heat for hosting an influencer retreat. The through-line: the honeymoon phase with AI is over and consumers are pushing back hard.On the business side, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Pump Club app goes viral with a genius retention play — he pays your membership if you actually work out. BMW's Spider-Man display takeover shows exactly how not to monetize a premium brand. Orchid HQ proves controversial launch videos still cut through noise. And Mike Christo's 12-year-old son helped one-shot a full video game with Opus V — one prompt, 31,000 lines of code, making the case that OpenAI should be building a gaming platform. They close with Primary Posts: Daniel Burke's take on why the next billion-dollar companies won't come from people who've done it before, and Akash Gupta breaking down how The Odyssey cleared Oppenheimer's entire domestic run in 13 days on $0 of licensed IP.Thank you to our sponsors:AdQuick – Making OOH advertising as easy to plan, buy, and measure as digital. ⁠adquick.com⁠⁠Thrad.ai⁠ — Building the advertising infrastructure for AI. ⁠thrad.ai⁠beehiiv — The all-in-one platform for newsletters, websites, and every tool you need to grow and earn. ⁠beehiiv.com⁠The Farm — Fractional commercial legal with an in-house approach to outside counsel. ⁠thefarmllp.com⁠STAY CONNECTEDJames on Twitter & LinkedIn – /jamesborowDaniel on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok – /danieldrugerSubscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

Someone can steal a modern truck without “hotwiring” anything, and that reality changes what security needs to look like. We sit down with Ford Motor Company's Ian Grotenhuis to unpack Ford Secure, formally the Ford Security Package, and why Ford is betting on proactive protection instead of alerts that leave you powerless. If you've worried about F-150 theft in Texas or anywhere else, this conversation gets specific fast.We walk through what the package includes for eligible vehicles: theft alerts, access to a 24/7 365 call center, and the headline feature, vehicle start inhibit. Ian explains how it works through the Ford app, the cloud, and the vehicle's embedded software to disable the powertrain so a thief can't just drive away, even with access. We also dig into practical questions: what it costs after the included year, the one-time purchase option, which model years can use it, and why Ford adds protections like two-factor authentication around factory reset. Just as important, we ask about safety and learn why the system won't “brick” a vehicle while it's moving.Then we shift gears into the wider car world: Jeff shares news on the end of the Houston Autorama and what it means for local car culture, plus a quick note on BMW cutting jobs amid changing global demand. Don also reviews the redesigned 2026 Toyota RAV4, including the GR Sport plug-in hybrid, with notes on styling, cabin layout, real-world efficiency, range expectations, and pricing versus key compact SUV competitors.If you like smart car talk that's actually usable, subscribe, share this with a friend who parks outside, and leave us a review with your take: would you pay monthly for built-in vehicle theft prevention?Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Wednesday!! This one's got range: playground etiquette, flying taxis, Myspace nostalgia and a practical joke involving a bunny.  We kick things off with the "quizzing my husband on girly products" trend (Harrison learned the term nail bed today lol), the navy sheets convo (Alex shares what she was REALLY thinking walking into Harrison's place for the first time hahaha), plus the bunny prank that raised a real question: is it ever OK to gift your friends' kids a pet?! (Harrison says she wouldn't be mad one bit.. Alex says think about the animals!) Then a life update: the pool officially has water (fun fact: it's literally just from the hose?! we were stunned)...and now we're in negotiations with a toddler about why pool time is NOT at 7:30 AM. Then the H BOMB: flying taxis are ACTUALLY coming to America - the FAA just approved trials across 26 states, and of course Austin is one of the first cities (guinea pig city strikes again). Plus Harrison makes his case for high speed trains in the US.  Then the main event: parent playground etiquette. We review Austin's first European-style play zone, debate the two types of playground parents (are you a playground talker or a chiller??), and get into the epidemic of nobody introducing themselves anymore - plus Harrison's reintroduction move that instantly makes every interaction warmer. Plus more fun stuff: why everyone is reading the same 5 books right now, a car tells you SO much about someone, BMW is putting Spider-Man commercials on dash screens (APPALLING), the convenience tax debate (what's worth it / what's not), the Waymo x Uber exclusive ending in ATX, Myspace making a comeback (we're SO in for non-doomscroll social media), and why nobody should be paying to read when libraries exist!! And stay tuned.. we have a very special guest episode all about living a long life coming Friday

What if the luxury SUV everyone is overlooking is the one that should be at the top of your list?

John Rush and Richard Rush put this luxury SUV through its paces, uncovering surprising strengths, hidden compromises, and a comparison that could leave longtime BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche shoppers rethinking their next purchase.

Untold Story About Power, Politics, and the Leaders Who Stay Away Hour 1 kicks off with a rapid-fire debate on what the media won't tell you, the real risks on our streets, and the urgent need for personal responsibility. Then, buckle up as the spotlight turns to car culture—are we celebrating freedom or courting disaster with illegal street racing? Stephen B. Young jumps in to expose why the best minds in America are avoiding politics. Is the system rigged to keep real reformers out? Discover how money, party insiders, and political machines may be shutting out the very people who could rebuild public trust. The hour ends with a no-holds-barred look at Colorado's political crossroads, party loyalty, and the fierce battles shaping the next election. The debate heats up and the tough questions spill into Hour 2. Timestamps 29:50 - Stephen B.

Next, John puts the Genesis GV80 Coupe to the test—can this luxury SUV really take down BMW and Porsche at a noticeably lower price? Hear the verdict before you buy. Then, Scott Wheeler pulls back the curtain on unsolved firebombings, shadowy federal agencies, and the stories the mainstream media won't touch. What's really happening behind closed doors? The hour ends with a fierce debate over transgender athletes in women's sports, challenging what schools and coaches are teaching—and what's really at stake for the next generation.

Plus, What Happens When Government Sets Drug Prices? In Hour 3, John and Alvin Lui break down so-called “media literacy”—is it really teaching kids to think for themselves, or just to trust the official narrative? The conversation dives into media manipulation, public debate, and how to cut through the noise to find the truth. John then tackles Colorado's political battles, the fight for personal responsibility, and why sticking to your principles matters more than social media buzz. Phil Kerpen reveals the shocking ways government drug pricing could derail innovation and healthcare for years to come. The show wraps up with a blunt look at campaign strategy in Colorado—will money and memes decide the next governor, or does substance still matter?

The Neue Klasse flagship uses sixth-generation eDrive tech and a 108.7 kWh battery, charges at up to 400 kW to add 373 km (231 miles) in ten minutes, and starts at €73,925 ($85,200) in Germany for the iX3 50 xDrive with up to 805 km (500 miles) of WLTP range.BMW TO BUILD IX5 BATTERY PACKS IN SOUTH CAROLINABMW will begin mass production of iX5 high-voltage battery packs in December at its new Plant Woodruff in South Carolina, near Plant Spartanburg where the iX5 is assembled, keeping pack assembly in-house to build a local supply chain, cut geopolitical risk and reduce logistics costs. AESC, now majority-owned by China's Envision Group, supplies the 120 mm cylindrical cells — which deliver 30% more usable energy than the iX3's 95 mm cells — giving the US iX5 a 144 kWh pack (141 kWh in Europe), an estimated 435 miles of range, 460 kW peak charging and a 10-80% charge in 22 minutes.ZEEKR 9X ARRIVES IN EUROPEZeekr has launched the 9X Ultra 6-Seater in Europe as a luxury SUV and its first Super Hybrid, pairing a 900V dual-motor system with a 2.0-litre turbo engine used purely as a generator for 897 horsepower, 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, up to 737 km of range and a 10-80% DC charge in 9.5 minutes. Designed in Gothenburg with adaptive air suspension and CDC dampers, it offers reclining, massaging first and second rows, an onboard refrigerator, a ceiling-mounted 17-inch 3K OLED screen and a 32-speaker Naim system, and marks Zeekr's fifth European model in three years across 16 markets.SK ON AND FACTORIAL TARGET SOLID-STATE SCALESK On and Factorial Energy have partnered to push solid-state batteries towards production, combining Factorial's FEST cell technology with SK On's manufacturing network to tackle the scaling problem that has held back a chemistry promising higher energy density, longer range and faster charging than lithium-ion. Factorial is already testing cells in North America and has integrated them into Stellantis' Dodge Charger Daytona prototype, claiming 375 Wh/kg energy density, while its work with Mercedes-Benz produced a modified EQS that covered over 745 miles on a single charge.TESLA SHIP LOAD SETS SHANGHAI RECORDThe Chinese-built car carrier Glovis Nova loaded 7,738 electric vehicles — all Tesla Model 3 and Model Y cars — at Shanghai's South Port Terminal on Sunday, a domestic record for a single voyage, and set sail for Zeebrugge, Belgium, for distribution across Europe. The 10,800-car vessel and its sister ship Glovis Leader, which berthed the same day before heading to Busan, were built by Guangzhou Shipyard International, a China State Shipbuilding Corporation subsidiary, and rank among the largest of their kind in the world.NORWAY LEADS GLOBAL EV ADOPTION INDEXNorway tops the latest Global EV Adoption Index with 73.2 out of 100, ahead of Denmark on 64.7 and China on 64.5, backed by a 92% EV sales share in 2024, 32 public chargers per 1,000 battery vehicles and 41.9% fast-charger coverage. Denmark climbed 40 percentage points since 2020 to a 56% sales share with 73 chargers per 1,000 EVs, China recorded a 48% share and 103 chargers per 1,000 vehicles, and Tesla led brand interest across 75 countries with 71.6 million Google queries in the past year.MITSUBISHI RETURNS TO NORTH AMERICA WITH LEAF EVMitsubishi will re-enter the North American EV market with the 2027 Eclipse Sportback EV, on sale in the US and Canada by late summer or early fall of 2026 through around 300 dealerships. Billed as all-new, it is in fact based on the next-generation Nissan Leaf via the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, sharing its 75 kWh liquid-cooled battery, native NACS port, Supercharger access and 150 kW charging (10-80% in about 35 minutes) beneath new fascias, lighting and alloys, with range and pricing still undisclosed.LEPAS L8 TARGETS EUROPE ON VALUEChery has launched the Lepas L8, a D-segment family SUV priced from £34,900 to £37,900, using the upmarket Lepas brand to challenge BMW and Volkswagen on space, equipment and price alongside stablemates such as the Jaecoo 7, Omoda 7 and Chery Tiggo 8. Power comes from Chery's Super Hybrid system combining a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor and 18.4 kWh battery, while the cabin offers an upmarket feel, generous tech, vast rear legroom and headroom despite the panoramic roof, and a 507-litre boot comparable to a Nissan Qashqai's.KERBSIDE CHARGING SEARCHES JUMP AS EV COST SCRUTINY GROWSVertu reports that searches for "kerbside EV charging" rose 125% over the past three months while searches for "cheapest EV tariff" climbed 173%, suggesting buyers are weighing access and running costs together before switching. The trend matters because government figures published in 2024 found 40% of UK households have no access to off-street parking, leaving a large share of the market dependent on public charging and highly sensitive to the cost of every kilowatt-hour.PRINCE AL WALEED RAISES LUCID STAKEPrince Al Waleed bin Talal's investment office bought just over 19 million Lucid shares, lifting his stake to about 5% according to an SEC filing, with the prince saying he bought when Lucid's market cap was below $2 billion following speculation — since denied by Lucid — about bankruptcy or a take-private deal. The purchase, which Lucid welcomed as an independent vote of confidence, comes as the company restructures under new CEO Silvio Napoli after cutting 18% of staff in June on top of an earlier 12% lay-off, and adds to Saudi ownership alongside the Public Investment Fund's roughly 60% stake held since the 2021 SPAC merger.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyEV SALES SPREAD AS CHINA SLOWSGlobal EV sales rose 35% in Q2 2026 with record sales in 50 countries, while more than 90 countries posted year-on-year growth despite a 5% decline in overall car sales. The IEA now forecasts EVs will account for 29% of global sales in 2026, driven by growth beyond China and the US in markets like Australia, Brazil, India, Korea and Vietnam, though China's EV sales are expected to stagnate year-on-year for the first time this decade while still representing over 60% of new cars sold there.EUROPEAN BEV SHARE HITS RECORD IN JUNEEuropean new car registrations rose 13% year-on-year in June with BEV registrations climbing 50.7% to capture a record 25.7% market share of 359,300 units. Combustion vehicles fell 13.6% to 27% market share, while Tesla led EV rankings but growth broadened across Renault, BMW, Skoda, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Volvo and BYD.RIVIAN BEATS, BUT R2 COSTS MOUNTRivian posted Q2 2026 revenue of $1.658 billion with record gross profit of $179 million and 11% gross margin, improving for five consecutive quarters, but the R2 mid-size SUV ramp added $100 million in extra costs. The company raised full-year delivery guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles and narrowed adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $1.8-2.0 billion, requiring roughly 42,000-47,000 deliveries in the second half.RIVIAN SEES STRONG EARLY R2 CONVERSIONRivian reported R2 Launch Edition reservation-to-order conversion is running meaningfully above expectations, signaling strong demand at the premium price point. The company expects broader R2 trim availability in early 2027, which could drive better momentum when lower-priced versions become available.VW URGES FAST EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE PHEVSVW Group CEO Oliver Blume called for the EU to quickly apply 35% tariffs on Chinese plug-in hybrids similar to those on Chinese battery electric vehicles, citing undercutting of European car makers. Chinese brand sales in Europe rose 101% in H1 2026 to 685,990 units with 9.5% market share, up from 5% a year earlier, with BYD models dominating the PHEV top sellers list.DENZA OPENS UK BAO 5 ORDERSDENZA opened UK orders for the BAO 5 plug-in hybrid SUV priced from £69,500 to £78,880, featuring a dual-motor system delivering 544PS combined power with 62 miles of electric range and up to 100kW DC charging. The entry Elegance trim includes premium features like a 15.6-inch central screen with Google, leather upholstery, panoramic roof and a 18-speaker Devialet audio system.MERCEDES FACES YEARS OF CHINA PRICE PRESSUREMercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius warned that China's EV pricing war will persist for years as Chinese brands like BYD push aggressively into the luxury segment, challenging models such as the S-Class and G-Class. Mercedes recorded a 30% second-quarter sales drop in China, though the company is cutting costs and maintaining strength in its top-end luxury and AMG segments.GENESIS PRICES GV60 MAGMA AT $71,495Genesis priced its first performance EV, the GV60 Magma, at $71,495 with deliveries starting in select US states, targeting Mercedes-AMG and BMW M buyers with 600hp in normal use and 641hp in Boost Mode for under four-second 0-60mph acceleration. The car uses an 84kWh battery with 800V architecture enabling 10-80% charging in about 20 minutes and features an electronic limited-slip differential, Drift Mode and simulated engine sounds.CHINESE TRUCK MAKERS USE EUROPE'S FACTORIESChinese truck makers SuperPanther and Sinotruk are entering Europe through contract manufacturing at existing plants rather than building new factories, using the semi-knocked-down method to speed market entry and reduce costs. Steyr Automotive in Austria now assembles SuperPanther's eTopas 600 and Sinotruk's vehicles, with plans to expand to cab production and painting as volumes rise.VATTENFALL TESTS OPEN EV CHARGING BAYSVattenfall InCharge is piloting 300 public chargers in North Brabant and Limburg from August 2026 to January 2027, splitting them between 150 open bays for all vehicles and 150 standard bays reserved for EVs to test faster deployment by removing exclusive EV parking restrictions. The trial addresses an administrative bottleneck rather than a technical one, testing whether chargers can be installed faster without requiring traffic rulings and public objection periods.MAN STARTS MCS-READY ELECTRIC TRUCK PRODUCTIONMAN started series production of MCS-ready electric trucks, the eTGX and eTGS, at its Munich plant as the first series-produced European electric trucks supporting Megawatt Charging System at up to 750kW via MCS. With configurations of 534kWh or 623kWh usable capacity, the trucks achieve 20-80% charges in under 30-40 minutes, fitting within legally required driver breaks for long-haul use.NEXT MX-5 READIES FOR ELECTRIC FUTUREMazda CEO Masahiro Moro said the next MX-5 Miata will be designed with electrification in mind, marking a shift from earlier statements emphasizing the internal combustion engine as the current path forward. Patents from 2025 show Mazda exploring batteries running through the transmission tunnel to support a flexible chassis, with the company aiming to preserve the Miata's core character during its transition to electric power.
