Toyota has gone from being an environmental darling, lauded for pioneering hybrid technology, to a pariah among many conservationists. Gill Pratt, CEO of the Toyota Research Institute, defends the company's commitment to hybrids. And we hear from environmental activists and former government officials who say the world's largest auto company is dangerously dragging its feet. 

Carol Chiang, OTR/L, CAPS, ECHM, CHAMP, founder and CEO of Evolving Homes®, shares insights from her 25 years as an occupational therapist. As a “professional problem solver,” she helps clients create a personal advisory board to optimize their environment and quality of life. About Carol Carol Chiang is an Occupational Therapist, Aging in Place and AgeTech Expert. She is the founder of Evolving Homes® which specializes in luxury accessibility for homeowners designing their forever homes. She is the creator of Age in Place or Find a New Space®, a service which determines if moving to a new home is more cost effective than remodeling an existing home. Carol is an Aging in Place and AgeTech consultant for Toyota Research Institute, MITAgeLab, AARP and AARP AgeTech Collaborative where she teaches innovators what challenges their target markets face. She has been a speaker at numerous conferences including the Planning for Longevity Advisors Network Form at MIT, University of Florida's Parkinsons Symposium, UBS's Family Forum and the Rehab Tech Summit. She has appeared in national webinars for the National Kitchen and Bath Association, AARP and Davis Phinney Foundation. She also filmed a pilot TV show about luxury Aging in Place in 2021. Carol is a former elite athlete, missing the 1996 Olympic Team cut by 1/10th of a second. She enjoys challenges and has climbed Mt. Kilamanjaro, lived abroad as an ex-pat and speaks multiple languages including English, French, Chinese. She is very active in her community as a Rotarian and has a special interest in building multi-generational relationships between teens and older adults in programs such as the MIT AgeLab Omega. Key Takeaways Planning allows for better decision making and saves money. Start home modifications early and evolve as needs change. Construction is challenging no matter how well you plan for it. Occupational therapists look at the big picture with a focus on what is most meaningful. An example is the addition of raised planter beds if you love gardening but can't crouch down due to knee surgery. Fall prevention is not installing grab bars, it is looking at the whole person and all the pieces, including caregivers and finances. Social networks are a critical component of aging in place. Local community is vitally important for connection and support.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 9th January. It's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they've built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Welcome to a new Patreon ProducerTIMOTHY PHILLIPS FORD TELLS DEALERS TO STOP UPSELLING F-150 LIGHTNING RESERVATIONS - Ford Motor Co., concerned about its reputation and customer complaints related to the upcoming launch of the F-150 Lightning, is warning dealers not to upsell reservations for the popular EV truck and also wants customers to sign a contract preventing them from reselling it within a year, according to a letter from the automaker to its dealers. - The warning letter, dated Friday and posted online by the F150gen14.com forum, is addressed to all dealer principals, the general manager and sales managers. - "It has come to our attention that a limited number of dealerships are interacting with customers in a manner that is negatively impacting customer satisfaction and damaging to the Ford Motor Company brand and Dealer Body reputation." - Ford then cites dealer sales and service contract language that requires dealers to conduct their operations in a manner that reflects favorably on dealers, the company and its products. - In order to prevent people from buying and immediately reselling the pickup truck for a  profit, Ford is "offering support for a No-Sale Provision to be signed by the customer at the time of purchase. Dealers may add this language to existing closing forms or create a new standalone document." Original Source : https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2022/01/08/ford-letter-warns-f-150-lightning-dealer-sales/9142583002/ 5 MOST TALKED-ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES UNVEILED AT CES 2022 - Chrysler parent company Stellantis unveiled a concept car called Chrysler Airflow at this year's CES, marking the auto giant's (late) entry into the electric vehicle market. - On the production EV side, General Motors unveiled its highly anticipated electric Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck on Wednesday during a virtual keynote given by CEO Mary Barra. - When it comes to driving range, nothing can beat Mercedes' concept reveal at CES this week: a compact luxury sedan called Vision EQXX that can run up to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) on a single charge - Mercedes' German rival, BMW, wasn't looking to impress us with range or charging time. Its offering at CES this year, BMW iX Flow, boasts an unexpected feature: changing colors. - It still feels strange to associate Sony with electric cars. But that hasn't stop the gaming and electronics giant from showing off its EV progress at CES in recent years. This week, Sony unveiled Vision-S 02, the second iteration of the Vision-S electric vehicle introduced at last year's CES. The Vision-S 01 is currently being tested on public road in Europe. Original Source : https://observer.com/2022/01/electric-vehicles-unveiled-at-ces-2022-roundup/ VOLVO CONFIDENT IT CAN GET ITS ‘UNSUPERVISED' HIGHWAY DRIVING MODE APPROVED IN CALIFORNIA  - Volvo announced a new advanced driver assist system called Ride Pilot system, in which its vehicles drive themselves on certain highways without any human supervision. Ride Pilot will be available as a subscription service to customers in California, the company announced at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show. - Volvo's forthcoming (and unnamed) electric SUV, which will be announced later this year, will be the first vehicle to feature Ride Pilot. Volvo's Concept Recharge, which was revealed last summer, is meant to preview that SUV, as well as how the new driver assist system will be presented with a fully integrated roof lidar from supplier Luminar. The design of the Concept Recharge will likely be similar to that of the electric XC90 successor due to arrive later this year. - Ride Pilot is what the Society of Automotive Engineers would define as a Level 3 autonomous system, in which the driver's supervision is not required in a highly controlled setting, like on certain mapped highways. But in Level 3 systems, the driver still needs to be ready to take control at a moment's notice Original Source : https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/5/22866190/volvo-ride-pilot-level-3-autonomous-subscription-california TOYOTA PLANS SOLID-STATE BATTERY BY 2025, BUT IT WON'T BE FOR AN EV - Toyota is one of numerous automakers and other companies chasing the holy grail of battery technologies: solid-state batteries. According to remarks from Gill Pratt, Toyota's chief scientist and head of the Toyota Research Institute, we're going to see such a battery from the automaker by 2025. - Pratt told Autoline on Thursday the company will shove the solid-state battery into a hybrid vehicle. Yes, a solid-state battery and internal-combustion engine working together. It may seem counterintuitive, but Pratt said there's sound reasoning for it: Lithium-ion batteries aren't at a price parity with the internal-combustion engine, let alone solid-state batteries. The thinking is to produce the benefits of such a battery, but combine it with hybrid technology to keep the price down on a production vehicle. - Hybrids will provide a perfect test for the technology before the automaker gets in too deep with a solid-state battery powered EV. Original Source : https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/toyota-solid-state-battery-ev/ US: THE 'CHEAP' VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 IS COMING 'IN THE $35,000 RANGE' - Volkswagen closed the year 2021 with almost 17,000 ID.4 sales in the U.S. but the number could be 4 times higher, according to the company's representative. The company has more than 40,000 reservations but is supply constrained, as the cars are imported from Europe. Volkswagen Group of America CEO Scott Keogh said (via Automotive News):  "We could have sold four times that amount. What VW dealers are saying is that this is the most excitement they've had on the shop floor since 1998, when we brought the Beetle back." - In 2022, the car will get an upgrade (including range) while the lineup will be expanded by a new, less expensive version with a smaller battery (probably 62 kWh or so). This new entry-level ID.4 with RWD will start at around $35,000 - "in the $35,000 range." That would be about $5,000 less than in the case of ID.4 Pro (82 kWh, RWD). - The key element of Volkswagen's expansion of the MEB-based electric cars is the Chattanooga, Tennessee plant, which will start production of the ID.4 later this year using battery cells from the new SK Innovation's SK On plant in Georgia.

In this conversation, the second of a four-part series on mentorship, SSPI Director of Development and Innovation Lou Zacharilla speaks with three women mentors and leaders of the industry. Dr. Jennifer Dawson is the Staff Functional Safety Engineer with the Toyota Research Institute.  Before that, she worked at Space Systems Loral as the Technical Director for Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites, as Head of Safety and Technical Program Manager at Nuro and as a researcher at Stanford University, where she developed a cryogenic test facility, conducted experiments on a superconducting position sensor, defined requirements, and fabricated and tested customized electrical connectors. Dr. Dawson received a Promise Award from SSPI in 2016 and was also responsible for nominating the 2019 Mentor of the Year, Rob Lyon, whom you heard from in Episode 1. Penelope Longbottom is a member of the Space & Satellite Hall of Fame who has devoted her career to explaining satellites as one of the industry’s premiere public relations executives. She served in a variety of jobs, from Director of Communications and later Vice President at Hughes to Senior Marketing Communications Executive with Lockheed Martin Intersputnik, Lockheed Martin Space & Strategic Missiles and XM Satellite Radio. While at Hughes, Penelope was key to the promotion of DirectTV and America’s first Mobile Satellite System. She founded Longbottom Communications and merged the company with Sage Communications one decade later. Penelope has been a relentless advocate for more space for women in the industry and has been a mentor to dozens. Nicole Stott was seen recently in super bowl commercial with Busy Philipps and Lilly Singh riding the first Olay rocket! It was her third mission to space. Nicole is a retired NASA astronaut who performed two important missions on the International Space Station, where she served as flight engineer for Expeditions 20 and 21. She was a Mission Specialist on Space Shuttle Missions 128 and 133. Nicole began her career as a Structural Design Engineer with Pratt & Whitney. She was the first astronaut to have a picture taken with the SSPI logo from space.

Chris Ballinger is the CEO and founder of MOBI – the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative. MOBI is a non-profit smart mobility consortium working with forward thinking companies, governments, and NGOs to make mobility services more efficient, affordable, greener, safer, and less congested by promoting standards and accelerating the adoption of blockchain, distributed ledger, and related technologies in the mobility industry.   About Chris Ballinger Chris started out in monetary economics and worked briefly for the Council of Economic Advisors in the United States. Chris moved into Fintech in the early days of the derivates market. More recently he joined Toyota as the CFO of their financial service organisation, the same year that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. Whilst at Toyota he eventually went on to work at the Toyota Research Institute, which is Toyota’s arm in Silicon Valley that does the development of autonomous vehicles and robotics and AI. Whilst he was there, Chris developed his thinking on new mobility services and how blockchain and distributed ledger's might be able to improve the new mobility service economy. Two years ago, Chris left the Toyota Research Institute ,and launched along with others MOBI.   What is blockchain? Blockchain is a particular kind of distributed database that is append only where the rules for appending blocks are designed to make sure that the information is agreed on by the participants. But more generally, blockchain is common usage, it’s a broad collection of technologies, including cryptography, open databases, payments, perhaps identity, and probably quite a few other things.   Blockchain’s potential for redefining the automotive industry For Chris blockchain and related technologies broadly bring four unique capabilities to the table: Digital twins: bringing digital identities to physical things. Micropayments: Today’s banking system is relatively expensive as is the variety of other trust services related to payments. By reducing the cost of those trust services and enabling peer to peer payment, the size of the payment you can do goes down. Once that goes down you can pay for more things with micropayments, thus enabling things that aren’t monetizable today to become monetizable. That may include the buying and selling of data from a car. Charging for city infrastructure in small increments for congestion pricing, pollution pricing, carbon footprint pricing and all these kinds of things might become possible with lower overhead costs for payments. Trusted shared data. When Chris was the CFO at Toyota, most of the financing was through securitization. Securitization, is the main financing mechanism for vehicles where a collection of auto loans get sold off to third parties. The overhead costs for that process, such as legal fees, accounting fees, reconciliation fees and trust are 1 to 2% of the value of the loan. Being able to have an open database that everybody can look at, share and agree as the single source of truth can potentially reduce the cost for transacting quite a bit. Data privacy and protection – the ability to control user data or third-party app data at its source, instead of it being shipped to a central database where it can be a single point of attack. These are the four basic capabilities that blockchain can bring to the mobility industry. They can be combined in various different ways to create a lot of interesting use cases. For Chris the single most interesting one is the ability for vehicles to pay as they go for things. The combination of blockchain, IoT and AI that gives anything that is connected with a modicum of sensors and intelligence, the ability to have an identity, act intelligently and autonomously in its ecosystem, and to participate in an economy autonomously. With respect to vehicles what that means is vehicles moving around and being able to interact with their environment as economic agents.

In our final recording from AVS 2019 we were joined once again by Avery Ash, Head of Autonomous Mobility at INRIX, to talk about the expansion of INRIX's Road Rules Platform in July. Last year, INRIX debuted its AV Road Rules solution to help cities with cataloging, validating, and managing traffic rules for AVs on public roads. Their latest expansion provides functionalities that enable cities to incorporate loading zones and parking restrictions for TNCs (SUM Zones, anyone?), dockless bike/scooter zones, and other infrastructure like EV charging stations and fire hydrants.

Quotas, budgets, targets, feared employment oblivion all drive salespeople toward making sales.  Some go for the whales, but often don't even get a minnow. Others grab everything they can get.  The focus tends to be on getting that sale, bringing some money in the door, getting some commission, keeping your job.  The issue with this though is it corrupts our salesperson horizon.  It makes it too proximate and makes us too short term focused. What we really need to do is reorient our thinking around building a profession where we enjoy repeat sales.  We all know finding a new client is hard, difficult and expensive. We need to be farming part of the business and hunting for the rest.  When your focus is on one sale your relationship with the client is quite different to trying to build a long term partnership.  The sales pros always go for the partnership, over the short term gain of a single sale. Welcome back to this weekly edition every Tuesday of "THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show" I am your host Dr. Greg Story, President of Dale Carnegie Training Japan and best selling author of Japan Sales Mastery. We are bringing the show to you from our High Performance Center in Akasaka in Minato-ku, the business center of Tokyo. Why the Cutting Edge?  In this show, we are looking at the critical areas for success in business in Japan.  We want to help advance everyone's thinking so that we be at the forefront, the Cutting Edge, of how to flourish here in this market.   Before we get into this week's topic, here is what caught my attention lately. Japan's falling birthrate is a concern for the Japanese Government and it is introducing some new measures to reverse the problem.  The number of babies born in   2018  dropped to the lowest point since data became available in   1899  .  The required fertility rate is one point eight by the end of twenty twenty five and currently it is only one point four three.  The Diet is going to be asked to approve a new scheme to provide free public education for all children between aged between three and five starting in October 2019.  Also day care services will become free for children up to the age of two, if they come from low income households.  Poorer households will also receive grant type scholarships for university students. In other news,Toyota is working on developing robots for our homes, helping with chores and offering companionship.  In   2015 Toyota spent a billion dollars to open its AI focused Toyota Research Institute in Silicon valley.   In   2017  , it set up a  one hundred  million  dollar  fund to invest in startups and new robot technology.  In    2018  , it restructured its partner Robot Division to speed up decision making and shorten development time.  It is an attractive market.  In   2017   more than  two  point  one billion dollars was spent by consumers on robots for automated vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers.  Finally, Japan has extended the current copyright protection period from fifty years to seventy years, after an author's death. Intellectual property is a signify export market for the USA and so this is a big benefit to rights holders there. Good news for me though, because my book Japan Sales Mastery will have seventy years of protection after I am dead. But I will still be dead though. Given the snail's pace of change here in Japan it means Japan Sales Mastery will still probably be relevant into the next century!!!   This is episode number  sixty five  and we are talking about Not A Sale Thank You, Repeat Sales   PleaseSoredewa ikimasho, so let's get going.   Clever, shallow, smooth as silk, glib salespeople are the scourge of the earth.  They are focused on your money and how to separate you from it. There are no barriers to entry or qualifications to enter this field of work. Some will tell you anything, they live for today and like a shark, are constantly moving in order to feed. Snake oil purveyors to the naïve and trusting.  So, how do honest salespeople get anywhere when the image of the profession is so negative.  Movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Boiler Room, people like Bernie Madoff, etc. - it goes on and on convincing us that we are permanent, potential victims of scammers, charlatans and confidence men.  By the way, we are all in sales today.  You might be in one of the “professions” but you are no longer above the fray. Lawyers are competing for clients just as voraciously as dentists, architects, engineers, doctors and everyone else who spent years slogging through varsity.  The title might be vague, such as the popular “business development”, but the activity is the same, just without the skills. The key point to differentiate yourself from the carnival barker pond scum is to stop focusing on sales. Instead focus on the re-order. This mental shift is fundamental. A sale can be a one time thing, a transient satisfaction of a temporary itch.  In some cases that may be all that is needed.  This is the hard road of sales though – constantly prospecting to find new clients, having a pipeline that is razor thin and constantly teetering between feast and famine.    The re-order concept is totally relationship based.  There is a degree of trust that brings the business to you, without you having to go and hunt it down.  Clients want to work with you because they feel safe and secure.  They know the value you provide and they know your word is your bond.  Sometimes, it may be a long time between drinks before the follow up order appears, but it will eventually appear.  In this profession of sales, we all know the client is never on your schedule.   So what is the key to gaining the trust and providing the value?  I believe the term kokorogamae(心構え) or “true intentions” is the key.  Your true intention is to be a partner in achieving the client's success, on the basis that the more successful they become, the more goods or services you will need to provide them, as they grow and expand their operation. Find out more when we come back from the break   Welcome back  If your true intention is to build trust, then there will be no attempt to snow the client at the first meeting, to lure them into a false sense of security.  Instead you will tell the client what you do, who else you have done it for and some evidence about the results achieved for them.  Evidence not bombast is a constant theme in your client conversations.   You will bring insights you have gathered, that spark those client “we hadn't thought of that” moments.  You don't string together a bunch of statements and claims about your widget's features.  Rather you ask questions enabling you to best analyse whether you in fact have a suitable solution or not, for the client's issue.  If you don't have it, you say so immediately - you don't prevaricate or equivocate.    Your questioning skills are such that the client feels safe in the knowledge that your really understand what their business needs. You introduce the solution's features, the benefits of the features, the applications of the benefits and the back up evidence to support what you are saying.  You execute on the order from the client, as agreed and you deliver value at every point possible.  You do this every time.  If something goes wrong you fix it immediately, you don't become mealy-mouthed about what was discussed and you hand back the money without hesitation.    No trust or no value – then no re-order.  It is simple and complex at the same time.  If your “true intentions” are correct, then value and trust will flow accordingly and so will the re-orders.  Always go for the re-order, as the philosophical starting point of your sale's efforts.  Your kokorogamaewill be aligned with future success and that is where we want to be isn't it.   THE Cutting Edge Japan Business Show is here to help you succeed in Japan.  Subscribe on YouTube, share it with your family, friends and colleagues, become a regular.
