Where are we going to charge all these electric vehicles that are eventually coming to a road near you while you are out and about especially when you are far from your home charging station? Today I have an interesting conversation with Diane Dandeneau, CEO of the iPower Alliance about that and much more regarding plugin electric vehicle charging. Also, I open the mailbag to answer the question, Why do they put grooves in concrete roads? The answer is interesting and scientific.

Driving You Crazy

219 - How will they do the cannonball run with an electric car?

Did you know that statistically you are at a higher risk of a crash, including a fatal crash the week following the time change. Today I will speak with Dr Celine Vetter. Dr Vetter is the lead author of a study called A Chronobiological Evaluation of the Acute Effects of Daylight Saving Time on Traffic Accident Risk and we will talk about how and why the time change makes us more likely to be in a wreck. Also, have we all forgotten what STOP means?

E218 - Get the world together and pick one time zone

It is still much more expensive to rent a car the traditional way than it has been pre-pandemic. There is another option that is becoming more popular, renting out your personal car. Grant Feek, CEO of TRED.com joins me to talk about that as well as person to person buying and selling of cars. Is there a better way to report turbulence on planes so other aircraft can avoid it?

E217 - I know what people do to rental cars and it isn‘t good

Is It Illegal to Drive Without Shoes? This is a question that automotive writer Jason Unrau set out to answer in an article he has on Bumper.com and he joins me to talk about that as well as a ton of other car questions that come from his other Bumper.com articles. Also, the UK has run out of gas all because they can’t hire enough drivers to move it to the stations.

E215 - Just give a trucker a hug

Imagine this, a world where autonomous cars will match or exceed human safety by 2024 and the technology will grow so quickly that just 25 years later human driving will be outlawed. That is the prediction from Dr James Jeffs, technology Analyst at IDTechEx who joins me to talk all about it. Also, why are the baggage carousels so far away from the gate?

The company EasyMile just launched the largest fleet of fully autonomous, electric shuttle buses in the country at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.

E210 - Oo-ee baby Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise

Would a state agency that is tasked with giving out at times life saving information send out fake information just to detour traffic? The answer is pretty close to yes. I look at the story of the Colorado DOT sending out a fake message about a mudslide that never happened just to get the traffic apps to reroute traffic off a road the DOT didn’t want drivers using. I rant about this and invite Denver7 polictical reporter Meghan Lopezt to weigh in on the story after she got the runaround from various officials. Also someone wrote to our newsroom saying working for Southwest is like “slave labor”. I go through that email as well.

E209 - How our DOT in Colorado faked a mud slide just to detour traffic

On the show, I speak with Ben Schmidt, the Co-founder and CEO of a company called Road-botics. They partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to look at the condition of the roads in 20 major US Cities. The interesting part of this study, more than just the data is the new way they collected the data. They used smartphone cameras mounted to the windshields of vehicles and then they used Artificial Inelegance to analyze it. A quick followup on the space talk from a few episodes back, plus, one of the good guys in the traffic world is calling it quits.

E208 - You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one

We all know covid change the way we work but has it changed it forever and changed the way we commute? I speak with Dr. Patricia Mokhtarian, Professor of civil and environmental engineering at Georgia Tech. We will be talking about telecommuting and what it means to commuting now and in the future. Also, the Employee Traffic Reduction Program through the state of Colorado is dead and traffic reports in one place are no longer going to be on the radio. Is TV next?

E206 - To space and beyond over and over again

Air travel has really gone downhill since covid. I recall my trip to Florida and how Disney needs to update how we all get around. The EU wants to stop selling gas or diesel cars by 2035. Should drivers who own back fines for traffic violations and court costs be allowed amnesty?  And no, you shouldn’t drive with a satellite dish on your hood.
