Drop me a text and let me know what you think of this episode!
The mobility landscape is transforming before our eyes, with technological advancements creating both opportunities and challenges that demand our attention.
Commercial trucking is undergoing a significant shift as PACCAR brands Kenworth and Peterbilt introduce fully electric vocational trucks after five years of development. These aren't mere experiments—they're purpose-built workhorses delivering up to 605 peak horsepower and 1850 foot-pounds of torque, capable of handling an impressive 82,000 pounds. What makes these viable? Their predictable use patterns and nightly returns to the same depot eliminate range anxiety while still making economic sense for fleet operators looking beyond the environmental benefits.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson Limited demonstrates why the nameplate has sold over 7 million units globally since 2004. This refreshed compact SUV delivers impressive style, technology, and versatility at a competitive price point. With multiple powertrain options, a roomy interior that includes truly flat-folding rear seats, and an array of tech features typically found in more expensive vehicles, the Tucson stands as a compelling option for anyone seeking an affordable yet premium-feeling SUV experience.
Perhaps most concerning is the mounting evidence that artificial intelligence may fundamentally disrupt employment patterns unlike any previous technological revolution. With projections suggesting 30-60% of jobs could be at risk, we face a potential economic paradox: excessive automation creating an economy that produces more goods and services than consumers can afford to purchase. This paired with the discovery that electric vehicles are exposing inadequacies in our highway safety infrastructure paints a picture of a mobility future requiring thoughtful navigation and redesign of systems many take for granted.
