Attracting Innovation

This episode of the Overtake dives into vehicle-to-everything… aka V2X… the game-changing safety technology that allows vehicles to communicate with other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and infrastructure. V2X let’s vehicles see around corners – in real time – to help prevent collisions before they happen. Haven’t heard of it? You’re not alone. Pascal Peguret, HARMAN’s Senior Vice President of Connectivity, breaks it down with John Bozzella and explains what he’s doing (and what government SHOULD be doing) to get V2X widely deployed on U.S. roads.

It's no secret the pandemic has completely upended the new and used vehicle markets and the global production of vehicles. Supply chain shortages of components like chips have brought vehicle inventory to record lows at a time when consumer demand is at an all-time high. As this situation evolves, further understanding how it continues to impact the auto industry and the transition to a cleaner, safer, and smarter transportation future, is more important than ever. In this episode, Tyson Jominy, the Vice President of Data and Analytics at J.D. Power, talks about the state of the automotive marketplace—where we are, how we got here, and what the future holds for the industry and consumers. Hosted on Acast.
