Historically, cars talked about torque, horsepower, and fuel efficiency. But in an era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) and EVs, hardware is rapidly becoming a commodity.

I sat down with Jennifer Gallagher, Founder and CEO of Mach BD, to peel back the layers of the esoteric technology in automotive. Jennifer specializes in translating complex disruption into what actually matters for the driver.

We dove deep into the shift from supply-driven engineering to customer-centric experiences.

We talked:

If hardware is a commodity, what does a brand actually promise? Is it time to stop selling specs and start selling time, comfort, and connection?

With the rise of infotainment and productivity tools, is the car destined to become a "third place"?

The industry has long been pushed by regulations and suppliers. How can brands reclaim the narrative now that software—not steel—is the primary differentiator?

Can the automotive industry succeed where smartphones failed by prioritizing safety over the "attention economy"?

Jennifer’s perspective is a masterclass in how to build automotive ecosystems that don’t just move people from A to B, but actually enhance their lives.

What do you think? In 10 years, will you choose your next car based on its torque, or its ability to act as your most productive sanctuary?

We are starting off the New Year with a massive goal: reducing traffic congestion and, more importantly, saving lives.

I sat down with Robert Putt, the CEO and Founder of Argus AI, to discuss how they are redefining traffic safety.

Argus AI monitors and tracks traffic incidents in under 10 seconds. Compare that to the standard 6-16 minutes for commonly used navigation apps

We talked about:

The "How": achieving sub-10-second latency to detect incidents when the industry standard is ~100x higher

The Strategy: whether the goal is to disrupt current navigation giants or augment them with critical safety data.

The Infrastructure: leveraging traffic cameras and the concept of a "Universal Traffic Ontology" to normalize data and safety insights on all roads

The Vision: moving beyond just cameras to a future where AVs and commercial fleet dashcams create an explosion of data.

If you are interested in the future of mobility, safety tech, or how we handle the coming wave of visual data from AVs, you don't want to miss this one.

Everyone dreams of a shiny, driverless future, but Colleen McCracken (Necture, ex-Lyft, ex-Adobe) is asking, "Who changes the tires?"

Colleen is that unicorn who speaks both fluent "Software" and fluent "Fleet."

While the rest of the industry obsesses over AI, she’s obsessed with the one thing that actually stops the future in its tracks: Maintaining the Car.

We dig into:

• The real mobility inflection point (it’s not what you think).
• Future-proofing jobs: What can’t a robot do?
• The economics of fleet: Who pays when the driverless car breaks?
• Bonus: We somehow managed to fit in the Austrian alps, Wiener Schnitzels and Irish pronunciations into our conversation about logistics.

Stop guessing and start listening.
