Artificial intelligence is transforming the workplace faster than most career paths can adapt—especially for young professionals. Entry-level jobs, once the gateway to growth and experience, are vanishing. Yet the demand for “experienced” talent remains unchanged. In this episode, we unpack the growing disconnect between employers’ expectations and the collapsing pathways to meet them.To succeed in this AI-driven economy, professionals must rethink their approach:Collaborate with AI, not compete

2025 GMC Sierra Denali EV truck review

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/08/04

My recent test drive of the GMC Sierra EV Denali showed how electric power is changing the luxury truck market. With 760 horsepower, 785 ft-lb of torque, and over 460 miles of range, this $90,000+ pickup offers sports car-level acceleration combined with real utility. Features like crab walk mode, four-wheel steering, and the 19.2-kilowatt onboard power system highlight how electrification makes possible features that traditional trucks can't have. Though I found the user interface a bit quirky—tiny

100,000 Orders and No Paint: The EV Truck That’s...

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/08/04

Slate Motors has seized my attention with its bold approach to affordability. Backed by Jeff Bezos and $700 million in venture capital, they're developing a $20,000, bare-bones electric pickup truck. No power windows. No radio. Not even paint. Just a "clean slate" for owners to customize. What interests me most about their strategy is their independence from government subsidies—they built their business model without relying on EV tax credits, which gives them impressive stability despite changing

2025/08/04

In this episode, we examine OPEC’s latest effort to increase oil production beyond market expectations — a strategic move to regain global market share by pushing prices down. While this might seem like good news at the pump, the hidden implications for American consumers are more complicated and far-reaching. Host Ken Chester, CEO of TechMobility Productions, analyzes the global chess game of oil economics, connecting the dots between international policies and the financial impact on everyday

Dream Realized: Building Cars on Demand

2025/08/04

Toyota has accomplished what many thought was impossible: true production on demand. Their $1.8 billion K-FLEX project at Georgetown's Line 1 facility can now produce various vehicle types—sedans, SUVs, minivans, and even EVs—on the same assembly line. By adopting a revolutionary "bias chassis" approach where vehicles move door-to-door instead of nose-to-tail, Toyota has created arguably the world's most flexible automotive production line. The potential outcome? Custom-ordered vehicles delivered in

2025/08/04

On a troubling note, we're seeing the normalization of data theft with companies like Farnsworth Intelligence openly selling hacked information from over 50 million computers to debt collectors, divorce attorneys, and corporate competitors. This marks a disturbing shift in how personal data breaches are exploited—no longer just by criminals on the dark web, but by seemingly "legitimate" businesses operating in plain sight. We discuss this and more during this episode.

2025/07/28

Are you aware that electric vehicle (EV) batteries, once they are deemed unsuitable for automotive use, can continue to supply power to microgrids for numerous years thereafter? A company located in Nevada constructed a 12-megawatt system utilizing 792 refurbished battery packs within a mere five months – an impressive illustration of how former EV components could assist in addressing future energy storage challenges.

2025 Chevrolet Equinox ACTIV crossover review

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/07/28

My hands-on experience with the all-new 2025 gasoline-powered Equinox revealed a vehicle of contrasts. As a current owner of a 2018 model, I approached this redesigned crossover with high expectations. While I appreciated the improved displays, heated steering wheel, and optional cooled seats, I was disappointed by the lower fuel economy and the fact that the rear seats no longer fold completely flat – a practical concern for anyone who regularly hauls cargo. The quirky steering wheel-mounted

What is an EERV?

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/07/28

Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs) present an intriguing alternative, providing electric propulsion with small gasoline engines that only turn on to recharge batteries when necessary. This setup addresses range anxiety and greatly lowers emissions compared to traditional vehicles, potentially bridging the gap between current transportation and a cleaner future. The path ahead remains uncertain, but the shift in how people and goods move around the world is clearly underway.

How Traffic Math is Killing Neighborhoods

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/07/28

Urban planning failures come under harsh scrutiny as we examine how the "level of service" metric—primarily favoring vehicle throughput over human livability—has harmed neighborhood connectivity and pedestrian safety. Major highways built through city centers have permanently changed the character of our cities, often burdening communities of color and lower-income neighborhoods the most. Recent efforts to reclaim these spaces offer a potential correction to decades of car-centric planning.

Amazon's warehouse revolution indicates a major shift in how goods are transported through our economy. With over one million robots already in use and 75% of deliveries aided by robotics, we are at the early stage of an automation shift that could deeply change employment patterns in logistics. While some say these machines support human workers rather than replace them, the trend suggests increasingly automated operations.

2025/07/14

Perhaps most immediately impactful are the sweeping policy changes coming to electric vehicles and renewable energy. Federal tax credits worth $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used EVs will vanish on September 30th, alongside commercial vehicle incentives worth up to $40,000 per vehicle. Renewable energy isn't spared either—rooftop solar installation credits expire at year's end, while wind and solar farm incentives in place for decades will disappear for projects after 2027.
