CR is testing the 2025 Buick Enclave Sport Touring, the new luxury 3-row SUV from GM positioned just below Cadillac. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, the new Enclave aims to combine upscale comfort with family-friendly practicality. But does it deliver real value in a crowded segment? And how does it stack up against competitors like the Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, and the Honda Pilot? We also answer viewer questions about niche tire sizes on some Toyota and Lexus vehicles (like the Prius and Crown Signia), and is it worth keeping a 2009 Toyota Highlander with over 250k miles, or is it time to find a replacement?   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

Shoot us a Text.It's a busy week around the ASOTU halls as we're in Florida for MRC and then Virginia for MTC. Today we're covering how Carvana is scaling its capacity through the ADESA auction network, how Teslas topped a study on the most fatal cars on the road and the tech hiring slowdown.AnnouncementUpcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar on Friday November 22nd at 2PM: Essential Techniques for Digital Merchandising Success with our friends at CarCutter. Daniel Able and Brian Free, former VP of Digital Marketing at Autonation will be guestsMRC Nov 16-17 — CMA MTC Shoot Nov 18-20Show Notes with links:Carvana is reimagining its operations through strategic integrations of the ADESA auction network, emphasizing vertical integration and expansion.The used car retailer has converted 3 ADESA sites into multifunctional hubs in 2024, with plans for a 6th site by year-end and introduced Carli, a vehicle tracking system optimizing reconditioning and inventory management.Carvana has increased retail gross profit per vehicle to $3,497 in Q3 2024, up 30% year over year.CEO Ernie Garcia highlights the company's capacity for processing 3 million vehicles annually with minimal capital expenditure."Adding capacity without significant time or expense — that's the key to efficient growth," says Christina Keiser, Carvana EVP of Strategy.A recent iSeeCars study revealed that Tesla vehicles had the highest fatal crash rates among automakers in the U.S., raising questions about how they were driven and their design.Teslas led with 5.6 deaths per billion miles driven, double the industry average of 2.8. Kia (5.5) and Buick (4.8) followed as other high-fatality automakers.The Tesla Model Y recorded a 10.6 fatal crash rate, nearly five times the SUV average, while the Model S rate was twice the average at 5.8.Despite these figures, Teslas scored highly in IIHS and NHTSA crash tests.Analyst Karl Brauer linked the high rates to driver behavior: “The biggest contributor to occupant safety is avoiding a crash...and the biggest factor in crash avoidance is driver behavior.”The post-pandemic hiring landscape reveals a sharp slowdown in tech roles, with oversupply, automation, and changing priorities leaving many professionals facing a white-collar recession.White-collar roles like IT, engineering, and marketing fell 20%-32% from 2018-2024AI tools, like ChatGPT, have enhanced productivity, reducing the need for new hires in roles such as coding, where efficiency has skyrocketed.Sectors like healthcare bucked the trend, increasing hiring by 10% to address burnout and staffing shortages, while social services remained stable.Job openings now receive an average of 222 applications—nearly three times as many as at the end of 2021, overwhelming companies and making it harder for candidates to stand out.Job searches are taking longer, averagingHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

US STUDY QUESTIONS SAFETY CLAIMS OF ADASA study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute (IIHS), in the United States, has questioned how effective some of the advanced driver assistance systems actually are and if they do mitigate road incident rates. This covers technology which claims to be partial automation, not crash avoidance such as automatic emergency braking. Their conclusion is that partial automation adds nothing when it comes to additional safety. You can ream more, by clicking this link from IIHS here.

Girl get together ideas, house shopping, postpartum sundowners, and a much needed interview with Jessica Jermakian, VP of vehicle research at the IIHS have this episode filled to the brim.  "That totally pencils" is a phrase Kelly stands by, and sister language is the new slang that smacks.

In today's industry interview, Jessica Jermakian shares why the IIHS tests above and beyond the government crash testing to measure self-protection and crash avoidance testing—including pedestrian collision avoidance testing. She also shares some little known auto-facts. SUVs are no longer outlier vehicles and nearly half of all fatal crashes are single-vehicle crashes.  The IIHS full-size SUV crash test ratings are in and while the results aren't what everyone hoped they would be, they're likely to inspire change in the auto industry. Out of the three top selling SUVs—Wagoneer, Tahoe, and Expedition—the Wagoneer was the only vehicle that got credit for the IIHS top safety pick award. The Armada and Sequoia remain on the IIHS radar for future tests. Kelly is bringing a delicious copycat Chick-Fil-A sandwich to today's ditch the drive-through.

NHTSA has finally released a rule for Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). We've been asking for one since 2015 so... 3 cheers for NHTSA? But the rules don't go into effect until 2029. Ugh. On the plus side IIHS updated their AEB tests and car makers have a lot of work to do. We dive deep into AEB. And will 2024 be the year of the Tesla lawsuits? Maybe they shouldn't sell things with aspirational names like Autopilot when they keep crashing and killing people? Ford Blue Cruise is under investigation, Waymo says the bad driving of it's robotaxi was on purpose and we cover the latest recalls.This weeks links:https://www.autosafety.org/support-us/https://www.autosafety.org/av-bill-of-rights/https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/few-small-suvs-excel-in-new-iihs-front-crash-prevention-testhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywyCTIsNYis&t=3shttps://apnews.com/article/ford-blue-cruise-crash-investigation-deaths-4429651e132e3702a6a2a6a127aebbc2https://jalopnik.com/new-california-law-hopes-to-stop-robotaxis-from-dodging-1851447318https://futurism.com/self-driving-waymo-wrong-side-streethttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/federal-agency-investigates-effectiveness-of-recall-of-teslas-autopilot-systemhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/tesla-s-autopilot-and-full-self-driving-linked-to-hundreds-of-crashes-dozens-of-deaths/ar-AA1nIyP0https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/28/tesla-trial-autopilot-lawsuit/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V282-3386.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V288-7983.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2024/INOA-PE24011-11699.pdf

Episode 705: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is making it tougher to earn its TOP SAFETY PICK awards this year. On today's Unscripted, Neil Alldredge, president and CEO of NAMIC, talks with David Harkey, president of IIHS, about the challenge for auto manufacturers to offer better protection for backseat passengers and pedestrians.

Ready for a ride? Alain and Fred test out Tesla FSD beta V12.3. Plus more notes on the IIHS partial automation safeguard ratings, thoughts on the death and reporting on the death of Angela Chao, NVIDIA, Mobileye and more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smartdrivingcars/support

Waymo is the good actor in a sea of robotaxi competitors. That's what industry veteran Alex Roy says. Alex joins Princeton's Alain Kornhauser and co-host Fred Fishkin for a spirited discussion on the future of AVs and mobility. Plus the IIHS weighs in, GM sharing data with insurance companies, NVIDIA, SpaceX and more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smartdrivingcars/support

The world is seemingly upside down again as Ben Hadley joins the pod to chat about a digital asset auction gone wild, automated driving under scrutiny, and insurance companies getting more data than consumers may have bargained for.It's all fun and games until your favorite car gets in an accident…with technology at the wheel. Recently the IIHS has provided a rating of 14 driver assistance softwares across 9 manufacturers, all of which received marginal or poor marks.There's no evidence of real-world safety benefits from these systems, with the IIHS citing a lack of reduction in insurance claims.Despite Tesla's claims of safety, federal regulators are investigating nearly 1,000 accidents involving Autopilot.Lexus's Teammate with Advanced Drive system received an "acceptable" rating, standing out among its peers."We have been able to look at vehicles with and without these (systems) and determine there is no reduction in claims as a result of these more advanced systems," says IIHS President David Harkey.We all love the idea of a connected car, but it looks like insurance companies are taking liberties with the data available from manufacturers connected systems to determine insurance rates per driver.Kenn Dahl, a careful driver from near Seattle, was stunned when his insurance spiked by 21% due to data collected by his Chevy Bolt and shared by General Motors with LexisNexis.LexisNexis' report on Dahl detailed over 640 trips, monitoring speed, braking, and accelerations but not locations, affecting his insurance rates.GM and other automakers collect driving data for insurance purposes, often with driver consent buried in fine print or unknown to the driver entirely.Jen Caltrider, a researcher at Mozilla who reviewed the privacy policies for more than 25 car brands last year, called cars “a privacy nightmare.”How to Find Out What Your Car Is DoingSee the data your car is capable of collecting with this tool: https://vehicleprivacyreport.com/.Request your LexisNexis report: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumerRequest your Verisk report: https://fcra.verisk.com/#/After filing for bankruptcy in October, a California court has sanctioned the sale of Shift Technologies' digital assets, including domain names, trademarks, and social media accounts.TrueCar founder Scott Painter won the domain names, trademarks and social media accounts of Carlotz.com, Autoacquire.com, Canvas and Xchange Leasing for $35K. He also acquired the the platforms, patents and records of Shift and Fair Technologies for $120KA Canadian company (not automotive) also named Shift Technologies Inc. won the bid for the Shift.com domain and social media accounts with a $1,365,000 offer.Primera Management I, a Delaware LLC, snagged the Fair domain and social media accounts for $900,000.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Get ready for some hard hitting journalism on today's episode as Kelly and Lizz interview Jessica Jermakian from IIHS — absolutely iconic.  → Hey mama, are you listening in from your Mercedes GLS? Then it's your time to show up, show out, and shine in the Carpool podcast reviews! Erm is taking the place of ugh, but Kelly is skeptical. Is Lizz just grunting into the mic or is this a real millennial word of the day?  Jessica Jermakian has spent 13 years at IIHS and she's ready to answer the tough questions like: Why doesn't the Ford Expedition get crash tested? What's the deal with ‘female' crash test dummies? And HOW much does a crash dummy cost? (Lizz is shook!)  Kelly picks Jessica's brain to give parents a bit of safety reassurance, Jessica has hope for improvements like pretensioners and load limiters in rear seat belts, and large SUV testing is on its way. You'll also find out what Jessica is driving and how she'd start a new car search. You can check out the IIHS website and YouTube channel for a library of crash tests and vehicle safety ratings.  Looking for a way to preserve your family's memories, fun moments, and special stories?

Missouri man accused of deliberately crashing U-Haul truck into security barrier near White House, South Carolina lawmakers pass 6-week abortion ban, and the best new cars for teens according to Consumer Reports and IIHS.

Fred is at daycare, Kelly is way too focused, and Lizz is having her most pregnant experience ever — insomnia and middle of the night cereal with a side of Netflix's “How to Get Away with Murder.”  Today's millennial word of the day is making its debut in the 3D world thanks to Gen Z: the side-eye. Once just an emoji, side-eye is now a phrase you can use whenever you're judging or questioning the content of what someone is saying.  Kelly's driveway dump is jam packed. A new celebrity pregnancy announcement from Lindsay Lohan is as normal as can be and Lizz and Kelly are here for her mommy-blogger comeback. Instagram releases the new verified badge subscription and Lizz will be giving it a try. Kelly warns everyone to take out their claw clips while driving — and slaps a trigger warning on this story. Over the weekend Kelly and the kids will be headed to the hotel Tyler's parents are staying at for indoor pool access — what a great staycation idea. And last but certainly not least, Kelly is obsessed with Spanx clothes and how they're changing her postpartum body experience.  After giving her address to the Wonderful company for some spiced pistachios — which are today's taste drive, Kelly seems to be on a weird PR list that's sending her cases of juice and clementines. The Wonderful de-shelled pistachio flavors the gals tried out today are: roasted, salted sea salt vinegar, honey roasted, chili roasted, and smokey barbecue. Lizz polled Carpool listeners for assumptions they have about Kelly and Lizz and is ready to confirm or deny the most common ones. Topping the list is that Kelly and Lizz were popular girls in high school. The gals also address: whether they're super close and have always been friends or are always competing, that they never cuss, that they grew up privileged but were raised to be down to earth, and if Lizz gets upset at Kelly more often Kelly gets upset with Lizz. In industry news, Kia released the new EV9 with 2200 miles of range, six or seven passenger capacity with swivel seats, and a price tag in the range of 56K-73K. Will the EV9 satisfy the growing demand for electric cars that don't look silly? Kelly also shares her take on the new IIHS side crash testing of 13 mid-size SUVs. How much sway will these unimpressive results have in her car buying recommendations? Listen in to find out! To wrap up the episode today, listener Jackie writes in with her ditch the drive-through ideas. Kelly and Lizz are both obsessed with her take on burgers as bowls.

Warning: Whiplash may occur from this special episode with Kelly, Tyler, and of course bebe Fred so, buckle up! The millennial word of the day comes from Kelly's sibling Sydney. “Chronically online,” is meant to describe mostly trolls who are always on social media. Kelly and Tyler agree that all trolls may be millennials and that Gen Z will meanwhile be solving world hunger.  Tyler shares his long-awaited driveway dump and discusses The Crown, the Harry and Megan documentary, and his take on Prince Charles' “adversity.” Then, tells a ten-second dad-version of Fred's birth story that includes multiple food breaks. Bathroom permissions, sleeping in, clean rooms that stay clean, square feet, errands, flying by the seat of their pants, Friday nights, and TV freedom make Kelly and Tyler's list for the great eight of things they took for granted before becoming parents. Which privilege will prevail? Tyler answers dad-of-a-newborn questions from the Carpool that include how the duo divides household chores, the best and hardest part of having three kids, and Tyler's favorite thing about each kid (and Kelly)! Making it to the top of industry news today, entry level Teslas now cost less than the average new car. Are they ruining their luxury brand? Car and Driver reports that Florida dogs may have to keep their cute little heads in their cars, and Tyler's got no dog in this fight. IIHS is doing the most and giving awards for 28 models top safety pick plus this year — a number that's up from the top safety awarded models of 2022. Last, but certainly not least, which auto brand boasts 55% female owners? Tyler just learned how to make mac and cheese this week, so our ditch the drive-through comes from a listener instead. Hilary shares her salsa verde pork in the crock pot recipe that's great over rice, with veggies, or rolled up in a tortilla.  → To share your ditch the drive-through recipe with us, call (959) CAR-POOL and leave us a message!
