THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #304
Automotive manufacturers are blowing our minds with the things they can make our cars do these days. However, there are still many questions that journalists are asking about the future of mobility. We chat with Karl Brauer, Executive Publisher of Kelley Blue Book, about the judging of The North American Car of the Year and society’s acceptance of the autonomous vehicle. Then, automotive journalist BJ Killeen tells us about Volvo’s climb to the top and their new ‘Care’ program. Next, Dave Kindig, Host of Bitchin’ Rides, tells us about Season 4 of their show and some of their projects we can look forward to seeing at SEMA 2017. Switching gears, Lauren Fix, The Car Coach, expresses her distaste for sellers of unreported flood-damaged cars. Should this be a felony? Then, Brian Moody, Executive Editor of Autotrader, talks with us about Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. We end the hour with Mark Murphy, Founder of TravelPulse, explains why you shouldn’t get too upset when your dream vacation spot is splashed all over the media. Listen now.
