Visual assets are one of the most important deliverables as OEMs prepare to launch their latest models. As the saying goes, we only get one chance to make a good first impression—these words are especially true during those critical moments when the curtain is lifted, and the world sees that shiny new vehicle for the first time.     Whether on stage during the reveal, for the press release, the retail website, or to share on social media, the photos and videos associated with a particular vehicle go a long way in selling it to the public. However, producing and organizing these visual assets is a remarkable challenge.        Faruk Heplevent, founder of The Scope, joins Carl Anthony for this episode of AutoVision News Radio. The Scope is an innovative company that uses computer-generated imagery to create visual assets for vehicle launches and advertisements. Faruk recalls his early years in the 1990s as an automotive photographer, how CGI reduces the complexity of an extensive campaign like a product launch, and why The Scope team built an entire CGI city for its clients.    More Resources: The Scope Studio: https://tinyurl.com/4ht4um9s  CGI animation explained: definition, history, and examples via Adobe: https://tinyurl.com/y33ezb9h  Follow AutoVision News Radio on LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/49jyrd3b

Since 2018, there has been $160 billion in investment dollars linked to electric vehicles in North America, based on data from the Center for Automotive Research (2024 CAR Book of Deals). For EVs to reach their full potential, consumers must have complete faith and confidence in the charging infrastructure. Like how consumers think nothing of a gas pump when they pull up, building that same level of trust with charging stations is imperative.    Elaina Farnsworth, co-founder and CEO of SkillFusion, joins Carl to discuss a significant (and perhaps overlooked) opportunity for skilled trade professionals as more EVs populate our roadways. Elaina and her team at SkillFusion are building the talent pipeline of certified electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) workers through its EVSE Diagnostic Technician (EDT) Program. This robust talent pool will ultimately ensure charging stations across the United States are operational and reliable, increasing consumer confidence in EVs.  Elaina shares more insight into the EDT program, how she and her fellow co-founder saw a unique need, and why "playing with computers" has always served her well.   More Resources:  SkillFusion’s EVSE Diagnostic Technician (EDT) Certification Program: https://tinyurl.com/52u4ct35  National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/nevi/  Uplift San Bernardino: https://upliftsb.org/  Pushing The Needle Forward ft.

How such data may be leveraged for new revenue channels through personalized, value-added features is a prime area of focus for the automotive industry.  Achyut Jajoo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Manufacturing and Automotive at Salesforce, joins Carl to discuss the relationship between connected cars and the Automotive Cloud, how the industry can enhance its communication with customers, and the promise that software-defined vehicles represent.  Carl and Achyut also travel back to 1999 to the founding of Salesforce in San Francisco and reminisce about fond memories of learning to drive when they were teenagers.  The History of Salesforce: http://tinyurl.com/5f77at7j   Salesforce Automotive Cloud Helps Deliver the Future of Connected Cars with Data & AI: http://tinyurl.com/tb6xz95c   2024 Salesforce Connected Car Study Reveals Features Consumers Will Pay a Premium or Trade Personal Data For:http://tinyurl.com/m9fss8tn   Follow AutoVision News on LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/49jyrd3b   

Like every other aspect of automotive, the retail arm of the industry is undergoing immense change. Yet one constant remains for dealerships, no matter where they are located or which logos are on the building: it's the people business first, the car business second.  Jennifer Lennox is the Vice President of People, Culture, and Learning at AutoCanada, a North American dealer group operating over 80 franchised locations comprised of nearly 30 brands. In this episode of AutoVision News Radio, Jennifer expands on AutoCanada's core values and explains why the organization invests in its relationships with employees and customers.  Carl also recalls his time in automotive retail and his Women in Literature class in college, as Jennifer shares a powerful message about why women professionals should embrace who they are.  Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace via Pew Research Center: http://tinyurl.com/bdzy5z2d  AutoCanada & The Value of People w/ Jennifer Lennox: http://tinyurl.com/5ynmpxw7  From the Women In Literature Class at Iowa Western, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft via Britannica: http://tinyurl.com/mvxfh5n2  Follow AutoVision News on LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/49jyrd3b   

Consumer trust is one of the most significant pieces of the ADAS puzzle. Although the value of consumer trust with regard to ADAS is well acknowledged, it's no less important, especially as technologies like DMS enter the picture.  What is the link between consumer trust and the fully optimized synchronization of ADAS and DMS? When the external and internal sensors are on the same page, communicating in tandem with the intent to keep vehicle occupants safe, what would that do for consumer trust? Seeing Machines has been tackling these and other complex questions for over two decades, driven by an internal purpose of getting everyone home safe. CEO Paul McGlone joins Carl to discuss the relationship between ADAS and DMS, why consumer trust is essential, and how the company continues to rally around its founding principles of safety.  Seeing Machines YouTube: http://tinyurl.com/mtckfy25  General Safety Regulation via the European Commission: http://tinyurl.com/3avc7x2c  Follow AutoVision News on LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/49jyrd3b   

Daily traffic volumes have rebounded from pandemic lows in 2020, but perhaps not surprisingly, traffic and pedestrian fatalities have risen in tandem. Maybe also not surprisingly, unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, texting, and operating under the influence continue to impact these statistics. Among the questions are why people engage in risky behaviors behind the wheel and what countermeasures can be implemented to prevent such behavior.    These questions are at the core of the latest Traffic Safety Culture Index (TSCI) survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, released in December 2023. The latest TSCI survey identified six driver profiles and examined the social approval and/or disapproval of certain unsafe driving habits.   Dr. Rebecca Steinbach, Senior Researcher for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, joins Carl to provide additional insight into the findings of the latest TSCI survey. Dr. Steinbach explains the six driver profiles, how perceptions towards speeding have changed, and the little things we can do to become safer drivers.   2022 Traffic Safety Culture Index Summary Report: https://tinyurl.com/5awfb3kr  Pedestrian Deaths Have Skyrocketed.

As the world moves towards an electric vehicle revolution, the need for certified technicians to maintain the charging infrastructure is greater than ever. For EVs to reach their full potential, consumers must have complete faith and confidence in the charging infrastructure. Like how consumers think nothing of a gas pump when they pull up, building that same level of trust with charging stations is imperative.    SkillFusion co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Alisyn Malek joins Carl for an in-depth discussion on this topic, sharing insight into how SkillFusion is developing a nationwide talent pipeline that can operate and maintain electric vehicle chargers for peak performance and availability. Alisyn also recalls her early years at General Motors, her time with May Mobility, and why "pushing the needle forward" is one of her guiding philosophies.  Prepare, Certify & Place: Introducing The SkillFusion Platform: https://tinyurl.com/5h455yva I Am Not A Purple Alien.
