Overdrive: From Smart Crossings to Smarter Cars — AI, CES Innovations and the Soul of Driving Short Summary In this episode of Overdrive, David Brown and Paul Murrell explore how artificial intelligence is changing pedestrian safety, urban mobility, and vehicle technologies. From AI-powered pedestrian crossings in Ohio to inclusive transport innovations at CES 2026, they reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and machines. They also share motoring stories, review the GWM Haval H7, and reminisce about the good (and bad) old days of car parks, rallies, and real driver training. Feature Stories Artificial Intelligence Improving Pedestrian Safety David Brown and Paul Murrell open the program with a discussion about how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape everyday road infrastructure. A notable example is an AI-enabled pedestrian crossing system trialled in Dublin, Ohio. Known as the Securus soffit system, it uses sensors and adaptive lighting to detect pedestrians approaching a crossing and then illuminates the area to alert drivers. When no one is present, the lights dim to reduce light pollution and energy use. Beyond immediate safety benefits, the system gathers data on pedestrian movements that can help planners better understand how people use roads and crossings. David and Paul see this as an example of technology quietly improving safety without relying solely on driver behaviour. They also refer to similar monitoring technology used in coastal New South Wales to detect if fishermen are swept from rocks, illustrating how sensor systems can support safety in many environments. Mobility Innovation at CES 2026 The conversation moves to the CES 2026 technology expo, where mobility and transport solutions played a larger role than traditional consumer gadgets. David highlights how the event showcased innovations designed to improve accessibility and integrate different transport modes. Examples included AI-assisted wheelchairs, advanced e-bike systems and digital platforms designed to better link public transport with private mobility options. These developments emphasise “first-mile and last-mile” transport solutions, helping people reach public transport more easily. Paul and David welcome this focus on inclusivity but note that technology alone cannot fix poorly designed transport systems. Without coordination between planners, engineers and policymakers, even the best innovations risk becoming isolated solutions rather than part of a coherent mobility network. Engineering, Regulation and Cultural Perspectives The hosts also reflect on an idea raised in Dan Wang's book Breakneck, which suggests that China's rapid infrastructure development is partly driven by a culture dominated by engineers, while the United States is more influenced by legal and regulatory structures. While acknowledging that strong regulatory frameworks can slow projects, David and Paul argue that purely technocratic decision-making can ignore social consequences. They point to examples such as controversial policies in China that demonstrate the risks of pursuing efficiency without broader societal consideration. Their conclusion is that successful transport development requires a balance between engineering ambition and thoughtful governance. Recognising Contributions to Transport and Heritage The program pauses to recognise individuals who have made meaningful contributions to transport and community life. The late Brian Willoughby is remembered for helping preserve Rouse Hill House in Sydney's west by influencing road planning decisions in the 1990s. His work demonstrated that determined individuals within government can shape infrastructure decisions in ways that protect cultural heritage. Another acknowledgement goes to Rob McInerney, appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for his leadership in the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). Through data-driven road safety strategies, iRAP helps governments prioritise investments that reduce road trauma and improve infrastructure design worldwide. Driving Skills and the Changing Culture of Motoring David and Paul then reflect on the evolution of driving skills. Recalling older cars and rally driving experiences, they note how earlier vehicles demanded far more driver involvement, often with poor lighting, heavy steering and limited braking performance. These stories lead to a critique of modern driver training, which they believe often lacks practical scenario-based learning. Skills such as handling a skid, recovering from dropping a wheel off the road or performing emergency braking are rarely taught in depth. While modern driver-assistance systems improve safety, the hosts argue that awareness, judgement and real experience remain vital. Road Test: GWM Haval H7 Hybrid The episode concludes with a review of the GWM Haval H7 Hybrid, a mid-size SUV priced at around $47,000 drive-away. Positioned as a more premium alternative to the Haval H6, the H7 features a refined interior, improved styling and hybrid efficiency. Although its rugged design suggests off-road capability, the vehicle is front-wheel drive only. Despite this limitation, David and Paul find the car comfortable, well equipped and competitively priced. Thoughtful climate controls, a practical layout and a smooth hybrid drivetrain contribute to a strong overall impression. As Chinese manufacturers continue to expand their presence in Australia, vehicles like the Haval H7 demonstrate how competitive pricing and improved quality are reshaping the local automotive market.

Description This week on Overdrive, David Brown and Paul Murrell unpack the first results from Australia's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard and what they really mean for car makers and buyers. They examine winners, losers and the politics of emissions averaging. Subaru returns to frontline motorsport safety, JAC fine-tunes a plug-in hybrid ute at Lang Lang, and Leapmotor updates its EV over the air. Plus, listener feedback on traffic data, marketing jargon, Bathurst memories—and a road test of the MG U9 ute that surprises in more ways than one. Episode Breakdown • NVES first results analysed – including winners, losers 00:00:39 • Subaru's new Supercars role – 00:16:23 • JAC Hunter PHEV tested locally – 00:26:05 • Leapmotor OTA update explained – 00:30:56 • Traffic data & governance debate – 00:39:51 • Road test: MG U9 ute – 00:50:37 ________________________________________ NVES first results analysed The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard's first six-month snapshot shows about two-thirds of suppliers beating their CO₂ targets. Passenger cars averaged 21 per cent below target, but light commercials—especially utes—lagged. The scheme works on fleet averages, not individual bans, raising questions about offsets, real-world use and whether it drives genuine change or simply mirrors market trends already underway. Winners, losers & carbon credits BYD leads on credits, with Toyota and Tesla strong thanks largely to hybrids and EVs. Mazda sits deep in deficit, with Nissan and Subaru also behind. Performance brands such as Ferrari and Rolls-Royce top the per-vehicle emissions stakes, though low volumes soften impact. The ability to trade credits adds economic pressure—but also fuels debate about “buying the right to pollute”. Subaru's new Supercars role Subaru becomes exclusive on-track support vehicle supplier for the Repco Supercars Championship from 2026. WRX tS Spec B models will act as safety and course cars, with Outback handling medical duties. The move reinforces brand credibility in performance and safety, even as motorsport's marketing value remains hard to quantify. JAC Hunter PHEV tested locally JAC's Hunter plug-in hybrid ute is undergoing 50,000km of Australian validation at Lang Lang and on public roads. With dual electric motors, turbo petrol engine and V2L capability, it's being tuned for towing, durability and local conditions. It's another sign Chinese brands are investing seriously in market-specific engineering. Leapmotor OTA update explained Leapmotor adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via over-the-air update, alongside refinements to driver assistance and one-pedal driving. OTA updates promise convenience, but also raise questions about feature creep, intrusive alerts and subscription-style activations. The challenge remains clear communication without distracting drivers. Traffic data & governance debate A response from Transport for NSW on traffic counting raised broader concerns: data collection quality, calibration and governance. Measuring traffic flow is complex, but accuracy and transparency matter. Without robust oversight, even well-intentioned policy can rest on shaky foundations. Road test: MG U9 ute In 35 years of testing, David never expected to review an MG ute. Yet the U9 is wide, comfortable and thoughtfully packaged, with a practical tray and clever folding tailgate. Its 2.5-litre turbo diesel feels old-school, and the gearbox can hesitate, but ride comfort on sealed and dirt roads impresses. At around $60,000, it's competitive—less testosterone hero, more practical family-friendly dual cab.
After opening the episode with pointed commentary on current breed association messaging and the direction of Angus genetics, host David Brown shifts into a grounded, practical conversation with Montana cattleman Jed Polk. What follows is a thoughtful, transparent look at what it truly takes to build a cow herd — and now a seedstock program — from scratch. Jed Polk and his wife Angel operate Polk Cattle in the heart of Montana's cattle country near Rainesford. The ranch itself dates back to 1886 and represents Angel's fifth-generation family operation. But Jed did not grow up in ranching. Raised in Helena, Montana, he joined the U.S. Air Force at 18 and served both active duty and in the Guard before ultimately transitioning back home. His entry into ranching came through marriage, mentorship, and a willingness to ask questions — a lot of them. What makes Jed's story compelling is not that he stepped into an established operation, but that he and his wife built their herd methodically, one cow at a time. Starting with just two cows, Jed expanded strategically year by year. He paid close attention to markets, bought cattle during drought-driven selloffs, and used disciplined budgeting to ensure growth without overleveraging. In years when calf prices were strong, he focused on paying down debt and upgrading infrastructure. In difficult years, particularly during severe drought, he made tough culling decisions — often selling older cows to preserve younger genetics and long-term viability. Jed runs between 350 and 500 commercial cows depending on environmental conditions, all in a demanding Montana climate. With no irrigation and largely dryland hay production, his cattle must travel, graze, and endure weather extremes. Longevity, fertility, foot quality, and udder soundness are non-negotiable traits in that environment. He places heavy emphasis on cow families and proven maternal lines when selecting bulls, prioritizing real-world production records over flashy numbers. In recent years, Jed's passion has expanded into registered seedstock production. After early trial-and-error purchases, he recalibrated his approach — moving away from bargain registered cattle and toward embryos and proven older cows with established track records. His goal is consistency. He wants cattle that perform under commercial pressure, not just cattle that look good on paper. For Jed, integrity, predictability, and long-term reputation matter more than chasing trends. The conversation dives into practical realities: developing bulls properly, building facilities to support a seedstock operation, managing herd replacement rates, and balancing commercial stability with registered ambition. Jed is candid about financial planning, market cycles, equipment investment, and the importance of preparing for downturns even during strong markets. Ultimately, this episode is less about theory and more about stewardship — of land, genetics, capital, and relationships. Jed's vision is to build a seedstock program rooted in functionality and trust, with the long-term goal of hosting his own production sale and marketing cattle backed by consistency and integrity.
