Autonomous vehicle technology and safety has changed drastically recently. Once thought of as a far off goal, we're now at a point where self-driving cars have begun operating at quite a sophisticated and high level. But there's still a lot of work to be done before these vehicles become more mainstream. Tim Lee is a journalist and the founder of UnderstandingAI. He joins WITHpod to discuss advancements in autonomous tech, the impact on jobs, safety concerns and more.

Heute geht es bei mir um autonomes Fahren und Robotaxis: Ich habe meinen Führerschein vor rund 35 Jahren gemacht und kenne deshalb den typischen Anleger-Gedanken nur zu gut: „So weit sind wir noch lange nicht, bis das Auto wirklich für uns entscheidet.“ Das klingt schnell nach Hype. Doch nach meiner Fahrt gestern über eine Autobahn wurde mir schlagartig klar: Das wird kommen – sicher. Und vermutlich nicht erst in 15 Jahren, sondern eher in fünf bis zehn. Einige entscheidende Entwicklungen werden wir sogar deutlich früher sehen – und genau dort könnten auch für Anleger Chancen entstehen.

A CMO Confidential Interview with DJ Patil, Great Point Ventures investor and former U.S. Chief Data Scientist in the Obama Administration. DJ discusses why AI adoption is "lumpy" like unbaked cake mix, the difference between large models and focused applications, and why consultants are probably not the best way to make progress. Key topics include: Maslow's Hierarchy of AI with power, data and water as the foundation; a timeline juxtaposition of AI evolution versus culture and policy change; and his belief that marketers have a unique position to add "human connectivity" in to the mix. Tune in to hear a view on AI and health care as well as how Waymo almost ruined a date night. What does AI adoption *really* look like inside large organizations—and why does it feel so uneven?In this episode of **CMO Confidential**, host **Mike Linton** sits down with **DJ Patil**—former U.S. Chief Data Scientist, AI leader at eBay and LinkedIn, and longtime advisor and investor—for a clear-eyed update from the front lines of AI.DJ explains why AI progress feels “lumpy,” why culture—not technology—is the biggest blocker to ROI, and what boards, CEOs, and CMOs must do now to avoid falling behind. From autonomous warfare and small models to Wall Street hype cycles, job displacement, and what AI means for the future of marketing, this is a practical, executive-level conversation about what's real, what's noise, and what comes next.If you lead a company, manage a brand, sit on a board, or are building a career in marketing, this episode will recalibrate how you think about AI adoption, investment, and organizational change.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1235: Welcome to the first news show of the new year! CES puts autonomy and AI front and center as EV plans cool. Dealer sentiment improves—but trust gaps threaten CDJR and Nissan valuations. And despite years of doom-and-gloom, physical retail dominates holiday spending, with AI quietly reshaping how consumers shop across every channel.Show Notes with links:https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/self-driving-tech-ai-take-center-stage-ces-automakers-dial-back-ev-plans-2026-01-05/As EV hype cools down, CES 2026 is turning the spotlight toward AI and autonomy. With EV rollouts slowing due to cost and policy, automakers are looking to autonomous tech as the next frontier.Automakers pull back EV launches amid weaker policy support.AI and autonomous systems dominate CES 2026 exhibits.Tesla and Waymo's recent moves have reignited AV momentum.Rivian teases “eyes-off” driving for city streets.“That connectivity on autonomous, I do think will be front and center,” said C.J.

CDJR, Nissan, and Infiniti topped the least-trusted list, with many dealers expecting declining valuations for these franchises in 2026.64% of dealers have no trust in CDJR and Nissan; 61% distrust Infiniti.Dealers anticipate Toyota, Lexus, and Kia stores will gain the most value.Chevrolet sees a reputation bump, with higher dealer trust and value outlook.CDJR showed the biggest improvement in valuation sentiment year-over-year.“Dealers that trust the franchise are going to invest in the franchise,” said Erin Kerrigan.https://retailwire.com/discussion/lessons-physical-retail-holiday-season/Despite endless headlines forecasting its decline, physical retail flexed its muscles this holiday season—capturing 73% of spend, according to Visa's latest data.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss the fallout from Waymo's crisis management failure in San Francisco, where a power outage left hundreds of vehicles stranded and blocking intersections throughout the city. Waymo's prolonged silence on the incident and lack of transparency regarding what truly happened could lead to a decline in public trust just as robotaxis begin to scale. Down in Austin, Tesla missed their 2025 driver-out deadline in Austin, prompting Grayson to push his prediction for driver-out/safety attendant out commercial service to late February or early March 2026.Then there is Uber, a company with an ever-changing narrative around autonomy—shifting from demand-generation to hybrid networks, and now claiming mass adoption is still decades away. What will the next narrative be, and will it change once again post-CES?Closing out the show, Grayson and Walt discuss how escalating geopolitical tensions in Venezuela and potential political shifts in the UK could force a hard reset for companies relying on Chinese autonomous technology to scale their robotaxi businesses.Episode Chapters0:00 Lights Out in San Francisco2:44 Why Did Waymo's Freeze When the Power Went Out?8:34 Remote Drivers15:00 Robotaxi in Austin18:33 Scaling Robotaxi 22:48 Autonomous Vehicle Policy24:47 Austin Incident Reports 27:17 Uber's Ever-Changing Narrative 30:31 Miami-Dade Sheriff Deploys Autonomous Patrol Vehicles 32:38 Foreign Autonomy Desk40:26 CESRecorded on Sunday, January 4, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

A short audio reflection on something I haven't been able to stop thinking about since my first ride in a Waymo.Not because the technology was impressive -but because of what happened to my attention once I stopped needing to be alert.This episode isn't about autonomy.It's about what changes when vigilance disappears.That's what's on my radar.

This year turned out to be a pretty big year for autonomous vehicles. Waymo is the leader in the robotaxi race and over the last year, its signature Jaguar electric vehicles have become a common sight on the streets and recently freeways of cities around the country.Companies like Uber and Zooks have expanded their fleets to several metropolitan areas. And Tesla finally rolled out its cybercab service in a limited capacity in Austin.Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke to Kirsten Korosec, transportation editor at TechCrunch, about how the robotaxi became a common fixture on city streets this year.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome John Sviokla back to the show. John is an author, executive fellow at Harvard Business School, and co-founder of GAI Insights – an industry analyst firm that provides leaders with the strategies for successful AI integration.   John kicks things off by recapping his analysis on AI in the markets since he last spoke with Dan and Corey and sharing the changes that have occurred. He then discusses his focus on DEF 14As to gain insight into what's incentivizing management. He mentions that more CEOs have adopted AI usage – however, there are two main groups: the leaders who are advancing rapidly and the laggards who are making slow progress. And he shares the many variables that impact folks' finances today. (0:00)   Next, John expresses his desire for the funding of a public library for AI so users have a database to train their models. He also states that the U.S. has lost ground and intellectual property to China in the AI field and other areas due to companies wanting market access. And he says that using AI is something that needs to be experienced to see how useful it can be, especially with automation. (25:07)   Finally, John provides advice for parents who want to know what career opportunities are available for their kids. There are four areas that he thinks are most crucial in today's tech-driven world. John discusses robots in the tech industry and gives his praise for Waymo. He then reflects on the sectors that he's most interested in. And he believes that folks are wrong about AI being in a bubble – rather, he thinks that there's overinvestment in that area. (44:06)

In this episode, Tu and Lei dive into a week dominated by autonomy, AI, and a widening gap between China's EV ecosystem and the rest of the world.  The episode opens with a deep reaction to Rivian's Autonomy AI Day—why it felt like déjà vu for anyone following China's smart-EV space, and how Rivian's announcements mirror what Chinese players like XPeng, NIO, and Li Auto have already been deploying. The hosts debate whether Rivian's approach represents real leadership or simply entry into the top tier.From there, the conversation expands to L4 autonomy momentum: WeRide launching passenger rides with Uber in Dubai, Mercedes partnering with Momenta in Abu Dhabi, and Waymo accelerating multi-city deployments while publishing safety data others still keep opaque.Tu and Lei also tackle the LiDAR vs. vision debate, Volkswagen's unusual dual bet on Rivian (US) and XPeng (China), and why silicon strategy—not just batteries—will decide winners. The discussion closes with affordability: why 300-mile EVs under $40K are existential for Western OEMs, and why China's cost structure makes that challenge unavoidable heading into 2026.Candid, comparative, and forward-looking, this episode explains why autonomy and AI—not just electrification—will define the next phase of the global auto industry.___

Tu and Lei close out 2025 with a sweeping, on-the-ground review of the most consequential year yet for China's EV, AV, and mobility ecosystem — and why its ripple effects are now impossible for the rest of the world to ignore.  From CES to Shanghai, Munich, and New York, the hosts reflect on firsthand experiences that defined the year: China's EV export surge, the maturation of robotaxis, the cooling of the domestic price war, and the emergence of clear winners — and vulnerabilities — among Chinese and global automakers.They break down why BYD became a true global volume force, how XPeng, Geely, and Zeekr gained momentum, why NIO's long game is finally paying off, and what the rise of autonomous mobility outside China (Waymo, Baidu, WeRide, Pony.ai) means heading into 2026.The episode also revisits major inflection points: • Chinese EV exports flooding Europe, Latin America, Russia, and the UK • The beginning of an exported price war • Robotaxis moving from pilots to real commercial expansion • Why average vehicle prices topping $50,000 in the U.S. is unsustainable • How geopolitics, tariffs, and supply chains reshaped strategy • Why 2026 could be the year autonomy truly breaks throughCandid, data-driven, and reflective — this episode connects the dots on how 2025 reshaped the global auto industry and sets the stage for what comes next.⸻

Increase in autonomous taxis and availability The writing is already on the wall for this one. Waymo, Uber, and Lyft are all exploring cities to add robotaxis, with Uber and Lyft hoping to add robotaxis in London next year. Waymo is also hoping to begin offering services in D.C. in 2026.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Ed get together for the That Real Blind Tech Show year end spectacular. Jeanine was suppose to join us but she forgot how to read and tell time.   We kick the show off discussing the announcement that The Rolling Stones have canceled their 2026 worldwide tour, and it is for the most unlikely reason.   We then move on to discussing the news that iOS 26.3 will bring AirPod like pairing to third party devices in the EU> Oh no.   Waymo's go bonkers in San Francisco Blackout.   We then tackle the yearly discussion of Don't Get Scrooged with scams this holiday season.   We then discuss how Roomba invented the smart vaccum and lost the future.   We then dive in the Instacart debacle that Instacart has been using A.I. and dynamic pricing to charge different customers different prices on the same item. Which then led to lawmakers looking in to taking action against Instacart. After a really bad ten days for Instacart, they claim they have ended using their A.I  dynamic pricing program.   We then dive in to our year end review spectacular portion of the show, starting off with discussing the new internet slang that Gen-Z gave us in 2025.   Next up we discuss the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Apple in 2025. Next up we discuss what could have been one of google's worst years, turned in to one of its best. We then discuss how A.I. broke the smart home in 2025.    We then get personal with you starting out with our favorite tech innovations and products of 2025. Next we discuss our biggest tech disappointments for the year. We then discuss a couple of personal goals we were proud of in 2025. And it wouldn't be a year end review if we didn't discuss our regrets for the year. And we end discussing what we are looking forward to in 2026.   And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading end of year style.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

In this episode, we examine what actually counts as a victimless crime and why the term is so often misused, using examples ranging from seatbelt and helmet laws to drugs, prostitution, and software piracy. We discuss how insurance markets price risk more effectively than regulation, and why many so-called crimes are really paperwork violations with no direct victims. We also look at the limits of automation through recent failures in self-driving technology, and highlight the Foolishness of the Week involving ideological monocultures in academia and the incentives that sustain them. The conversation then turns to the main topic of whether there should be an age limit for the presidency, weighing cognitive decline, longevity, institutional incentives, and why existing safeguards like the 25th Amendment rarely function as intended. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:29 What Counts as a Victimless Crime? 01:38 Insurance, Risk, and Who Really Pays 04:36 Drugs, Prostitution, and True Victimless Crimes 06:26 Regulatory Crimes vs Real Human Harm 07:53 Software Piracy and Intellectual Property 12:38 Waymo, Power Outages, and Self-Driving Failures 14:49 Foolishness of the Week: Academic Monocultures in Academia 17:10 Personal Stories of Academic Censorship 20:39 Main Topic: Should Presidents Have an Age Limit? 21:41 Biden, Trump, and Cognitive Decline 24:39 Living Longer, Dementia, and Modern Leadership Risks 29:34 Age Limits in Other Professions 33:00 The Age of Past Presidents When Initially Elected 37:35 Which Presidents Would Have Survived a Term Age Limit? 39:33 The 25th Amendment and Why It Rarely Works 40:57 Incentives, Power, and Presidential Succession 43:53 Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
