Leno Law, Toyota Takes EVs Off-Road, Understanding the Software Defined Vehicle

from Car Stuff Podcast · host Consumer Guide Automotive, Tom Appel, Jill Ciminillo

Jill is back in the co-host seat this week, having spent some time in Canada intentionally driving Volvo vehicles in snow and on ice. Tom opens the show with a mea culpa. Listen in to see what he got wrong last week. The hosts discuss a number of news items, including some reported delays in the delivery of Tesla's newly discounted Cybertruck, Lamborghini backing away from electric vehicles, and the proposed Jay Leno Law. Listen in for the whole story. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews Toyota's new bZ Woodland, an electric vehicle with an off-road vibe. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Ken Chester, host of the Tech Mobility Podcast. Ken share his take on the the next stages of automotive computerization, and what, exactly, is meant by "software-defined vehicle." It's a good conversation. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's "Model Year 2020" quiz. Listen in and try to beat Jill's score. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
