AI Overlords vs Human Jobs: What happens when humans...

2025/05/05

Artificial Intelligence. Its hard to imagine how we got here in just three short years from the introduction of ChatGPT. As businesses and organizations around the globe rushed to infuse their very existence with AI, its ability to digest and summarize unimaginable amounts of data have already brought us to the brink of excluding human workers from the demands of daily commerce. Few periods in modern history have been as unsettled and uncertain as the one that we are living through right now. Can a

2025 Hyundai Tucson SUV review

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/05/05

The Hyundai Tucson. Named after an Arizona city and launched in 2004, it is the automaker’s best-selling model globally, having sold over 7 million units since its introduction. Positioned as a smaller alternative to the Santa Fe, the Tucson rides on a platform sourced from the Elantra sedan and is the mechanical sibling to the Kia Sportage. Currently in its fourth generation, Tucson has been thoroughly refreshed for the 2025 model year. I share my impressions in this review.

Virtual Reality Facilitates Automotive Technician...

2025/05/05

Throughout the United States, many a local new car dealer has a continuing need for experienced service technicians. So much the more now, with the increasing sophistication of the engineering and technical design. Working with local community colleges and high schools, shrinking budgets and changing priorities means that very often, the local resources are not available to the dealership for recruitment. As you might expect, its technology to the rescue, but not in the way you may assume.

2025/05/05

Trees. They are amazing tools of nature – they absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They shade our neighborhoods during the Spring and Summer, lowering temperatures by as much as fifteen degrees. They absorb noise, reducing noise pollution. And they are often pretty to look at. What’s not to love? Does your city benefit from this urban canopy? Listen to this podcast to learn more.

OMG! Longer Car Loans - Is Affordability Still a Thing?

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/04/29

I remember a time when you could purchase a decently equipped NEW car (1970’s definition) for right around $4,000 with a monthly payment spreading out over 36 months of about $140/month. To be fair, decently equipped in the mid 1970’s was a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, single speaker AM/FM radio and an electric rear window defogger. Also worthy of note, build quality was spotty for EVERYBODY – even the Japanese at the time, and a vehicle with 100,000 miles on the

2025 Volkswagen GLI Sports Sedan review

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/04/29

The Volkswagen Jetta was launched by the automaker in 1980 to fill a sedan niche slightly above the firm’s Golf (then known in the States as the Rabbit), hatchback. Sold globally and known by variety of model names, the Jetta has grown in size and power with each generation. With millions sold over its model run, the Volkswagen Jetta continues to be popular with motorists. The performance-oriented Jetta GLI was first introduced into the American marketplace for the 1984 model year. After the

2025/04/29

Every 31 seconds, a car gets stolen in America. Since the Ford F-150 pickup truck has been the most popular vehicle sold in the country for over 40 years, it makes sense to surmise that many of those thefts would be of the popular truck. Now Ford is offering new F-150 owners a mobile app engine immobilizer as part of its new Ford Security Package. We review.

How Gen Z is Changing the Way America Drinks Coffee

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/04/29

Coffee. Regular or decaf(!), black, or with cream and/or sugar, hot or iced, fancy or not. Everybody has a preference. As for me, regular hot coffee with a dash of half and half with PLENTY of sugar! Speaking of preference, it seems that Gen Z is on a different page – as a group, they like it cold, sweet, and loaded with creamer. IS NOTHING SACRED? We look at how the coffee industry is pivoting to this new reality.

How the Dealer Plans to Sell You MORE Than Just the Car!

2025/04/29

When it comes to purchasing a vehicle at your local car dealership, the usual interaction with the dealership’s F&I Department (that stands for Finance and Insurance) is once the deal has been made and financing is being discussed. However, there are additional new products available that they want to sell you at vehicle purchase. We review some of the offerings.

2025/04/29

According to a recent article in Scientific American magazine, the rates of fatal crashes and crime are both LOWER on public transportation than on roadways.

Are You a Deep Fake?

2025/04/29

Are you a deep fake? Your local new car dealer wants to know, especially before selling you a car. It seems that modern scammers are using artificial intelligence to replicate voices and faces in calls and videos, opening up a new realm of auto finance fraud. This is particularly troublesome in what the industry calls "off-site deliveries", that is, vehicle deliveries that do not happen at the dealership itself.

Since starting my radio show back in 2017, I have talked about a number of new and promising EV start-ups, some are still around, some have faded from memory and some, like Rivian, are thriving. Faraday Future, a company that introduced its first prototypes to the world at CES back in 2017, is one such company.

The American dealership landscape tells an equally compelling story of strategic consolidation. While Detroit automakers trim their franchise networks, remaining dealers achieve significantly higher sales volumes—particularly luxury brands seeking exclusive retail experiences. Toyota leads with an astonishing 1,607 vehicles per dealership annually (triple the industry average), demonstrating how fewer, more focused retail locations can drive exceptional performance.

2025 Nissan Altima SR sedan review

TechMobility Topics ·

2025/04/21

Nissan continues defying industry trends with its commitment to sedan models. The 2025 Altima offers impressive value at $30,330 (with AWD) in a market where average transaction prices approach $50,000. Though solidly built with exceptional headlights and generous cargo capacity, the vehicle reveals its aging platform through absent modern features and surprisingly antiquated controls straight from the 1980s.

2025/04/15

During this episode, I explore commercial trucking's "messy middle" – the experimental phase between traditional diesel power and zero-emission transportation that could last decades. For long-haul applications, battery electric solutions face significant challenges with weight, range, and charging time, while alternatives like hydrogen fuel cells offer promising but still-developing paths forward.
